No Kings, just voices: I’m going to sing my way through the march – join me?
What if resistance sounded less like shouting – and more like harmony? Santa Cruz family therapist Lisa Herendeen is planning to march Saturday at the “No Kings” protest in Santa Cruz, and to sing. She has been attending protest song practice sessions with a group of local singer-songwriter-activists who believe in the power of collective voices of song. Local musicians Heather Houston and Aileen Vance have organized the sessions. Singing might not topple power, Herendeen writes, but it just might shift the energy. And that, she believes, is where real change often begins.
