Music empowers action for social change. Music stirs our spirits and embeds words in our memories. Words shape our values that drive our actions. Singing our beliefs in justice, peace, and equality will move us to transform our world. Inclusive Songs for Resistance & Social Action will contribute to gender, racial, economic, environmental, and other justice movements. This collection includes songs for marches, rallies, and other activist gatherings to support movements such as Women s March, Black Lives Matter, Human Rights Campaign, Poor People's Campaign, and Green Faith. Many of the songs are also for use in the worship services of faith communities, and some celebrate seasons of the year. Another feature of this new collection is the inclusion of songs that honor women leaders in Scripture and other prophetic women leaders. The songs in this collection highlight the intersection of justice concerns, instilling belief in the sacredness of all people and all creation. They name the Divine as female and male and more to support the foundational biblical truth that all people are created equally in the divine image. This collection includes all new songs, most to well-known tunes and some to new tunes and fresh arrangements of familiar tunes. Many of the songs are appropriate for interfaith and multigenerational settings.
