Sing Out the Vote!

I'd sing out justice
I'd sing out a warning
I'd sing out love between my brothers & my sisters
All over this land
- Pete Seeger & Lee Hayes, 1949 ("If I Had a Hammer")

Annie Patterson joined Emma's Revolution on another Sing Out the Vote tour in June 2022 in the Northeast. These were in-person concerts with COVID precautions. They were also broadcast live. 

• Friday, June 3rd - Philadelphia - First Unitarian Church

• Friday June 10th - Brattleboro VT - All Souls Church
• Saturday June 11th - Boston - Arlington Street Church

These concerts are all benefits for Movement Voter PAC. 100% of donations to MVP go directly to grassroots groups with a proven track record of getting out disenfranchized and marginalized voters. Thank you for your generous donations - you made a huge difference!
