CARA Statewide Virtual Sing-along

by

VIRTUAL SING-A-LONG ON FRIDAY, MARCH 27th AT 12 NOON

 
As the Coronavirus continues to keep us living a quieter, more isolated life right now, CARA wants to remind us all that we are part of a larger community and movement. What better way to remind us of this, than to sing together!  On Friday, March 27th at 12 noon, we will join together in a “virtual” SING-A-LONG to bring our statewide community together for a few songs of solidarity. 
 
Our CARA Sing-a-long will be led by Hali Hammer, a retired member of the Berkeley Federation of Teachers, a CARA member (active with the Alameda County CARA Action Team), and renowned folksinger extraordinaire (she is part of Occupella and the ReSisters) and has led many sing-a-longs at CARA events over the years.
 
It’s really easy to join in this SING-A-LONG. You can join by ZOOM (download zoom on your computer or smartphone and you will be able to see Hali as well as other CARA folks around the state).  Or you can just join by calling in on one of the conference numbers listed below.  Let’s try to get at least 100 people singing together, across California on March 27th.  Click here for song sheets.
