Music has always played a pivotal role in social movements for justice. Listen, learn, and find your voice! We’ll explore the role of music and chants in movement building. You’ll learn effective ways to incorporate music to draw people in, to unite people in common purpose, and to inspire the change we need. Being a musician is NOT required. This program is for teens only.

This event is free, but registration is required.

Jean Rohe writes one-of-a-kind narrative songs, concerned as much with the interior lives of her narrators as with the wider sociopolitical forces that shape their lives. Her work is both personal and timely, the product of nearly two decades of practice in New York's wide-ranging music, art, and activist communities.

Save the date for our next Activist Academy session, “Power to the People,” on Sunday, January 8, 3:00-5:00 PM ET with Juanita Lewis, Executive Director of Community Voices Heard, where we’ll explore what power is and how to organize grassroots power for social change.
