We are bringing together cultural workers and community organizers to build the Resistance to Trump with our Social and Economic Justice Music Festival on January 25 and 26 at Mission High School in San Francisco – placing music, art and culture at the center of an organizing strategy to help people and their communities heal themselves, build bridges and inspire each other to fight for justice.

The Social and Economic Justice Music Festival will feature all genres and music styles, as well as including other art forms besides music. Saturday will have three sessions of workshops on a range of topics and Sunday will have three sessions of song swaps and sharing performances. Both days end with an evening concert. It will take place at Mission High School, 3750 – 18th Street, between Dolores and Church Streets.

We also are convening in a Congress of the People to develop a People’s Platform to stay focused and grounded in our shared values and aspirations to reverse income inequality and to project a vision for substantive democracy, in which a government of, by and for the people would provide living wage jobs for all, truly affordable housing, universal health care and quality public education.
