“The World Needs Your Voice” is one of many songs that make this the right time to come together to express our love, our grief, our rage, and our vision. We’re gathering to meet each other, to sing together, to support our steadfast local organizers and to inspire more people to get involved. Mixing songs and beautiful projected images, Jim Scott’s lyrical melodies and powerful poetry take us from grieving to celebration, and from protest to a positive vision for our community and the planet. Facing the urgency of our environmental crisis, this musical and visual experience challenges us to feel, to learn and to act.

Hosted by the Gorge UU Fellowship at the Rockford Grange. Please help us spread the word! If you’d like to volunteer for the event, please contact administrator@mcuuf.org
