**JOIN US FOR THIS SPECIAL NONVIOLENCE WEBINAR A DAY BEFORE PACE E BENE’S FOR GOODNESS SAKE MUSIC FESTIVAL!**

A three hour (with a long, juicy break), webinar exploring the power of music in nonviolent movements. In this participatory session, we will share inspiring examples of music as a force of change, listen to creative uses of music in nonviolent movements, and look at how to weave music in our actions. From the Singing Revolution to the Civil Rights Movement to the songs of the US Labor Movement, to Afro-American Music and more. Music has given us strength, courage, and endurance as we stand up for peace and justice. This webinar is organized in conjunction with Pace e Bene's virtual music festival, For Goodness Sake on August 21.
