Tickets £5/£10 Ticket Tailor https://buytickets.at/singingresistanceoxford/2100736 Let’s sing about what matters…Please join Namvula, Elena Harris and me (Lisa Doscher) for a Solidarity Sing-In on Friday 27th March at 7pm. All voices are welcome, no singing experience necessary. We’ll sing simple, beautiful and energising songs from social movements, and some of our own. This will be a space where we can express how we feel about the world we’re living in right now. We’ll sing songs rooted in the world we want to create which includes full human rights for every single person. We’ll be singing in solidarity with the Together Alliance March on 28/3 showing that we won’t allow people in our communities to be targeted and we won’t be divided by racism! At the march there will be a massed sing including some of the songs we’ll be teaching from Singing Resistance. You don’t have to go to the march to be a part of making change in our community.
