The Fall 2022 “Climates of Resistance: Raise Your Voice” Project
Raise Your Voice Labs applies methods of musical peacebuilding, facilitated dialogue, and circle singing to help groups find their common ground, share concerns, and voice their collective identity through musical co-creation. Echoing a major tenet in environmental justice, the process is as important as the product: being heard and actively engaging in decision-making is crucial to community empowerment and just outcomes.
Through “Lip Service (Change)”, the Fall 2022 students call out uncritical allyship and performative actions, demanding material support for substantive change.
Your lip service ain’t getting it done
You’re talking and talking till kingdom come
Your lip service ain’t helping no one
You gotta show us the money
Cause we’re the ones to get it done
We need more than change to make change
We need more than change to make change
