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!).

Whether Republicans want to be the party of Christianity or the party of worshipping false idols is a question they’ll have to seriously reckon with very soon, unless they want the American electorate to speak for them.

“Storytelling teaches not through instruction, but through imagination and example,” says the Sami artist Máret Ánne Sara. “These stories don’t provide direct answers, but rather the ethical tools to navigate and sustain the world.”

Republicans’ fate in the 2026 midterms is likely sealed. But they could be out of power for multiple subsequent election cycles if Democrats are smart.

In November, Indigenous protests in London included the launch of “Bringing It All Back Home,” confronting corporate power head-on.
