Raise Your Voice on May Day

Raise Your Voice on May Day
Thu, 4/26/2012

This May Day, use your voice to change to inspire others with the May Day Convergence Choir. The organizers of the project are gathering singers to perform a new song based on the Ubuntu phrase, “I am who I am because of who we are together.” Groups of 20 to 30 singers each will meet in different locations near Madison Square Park at 5:30 p.m. and will begin singing the melody while making their way to the designated central location. As the groups merge together, the power of everyone’s voices singing together as one will surely delight and empower those watching. After a minute or two, each individual will head off in a different direction, while still singing, until they can no longer hear anyone else singing the same song. It should be a very moving experience, so download the score and get involved at maydaychoir.tumblr.com (and if you're planning on participating, please be sure to RSVP!).

The year 2020 has caused many white people to realize we live in a racist system. The Green New Deal is about systemic change for all, and deconstructing racism must be front and central in this agenda.

By infecting three of the world’s most right-wing leaders, the coronavirus underscored not only the incompetence and irresponsibility of their governments – but the truth that their brand of populism doesn't keep people safe.

Corporations are not "too big to fail" and, when they commit crimes, they are not "too big to jail." As David Whyte writes in his new book, "Ecocide: Kill the Corporation Before It Kills Us," the moment is now to rein in out-of-control corporate power.

The world has lost an incredible thinker and doer. I have lost an amazing friend. A void exists where before it was filled with David's optimism, humour and joy.
