STRIKE! Seattle Labor Chorus fundraising concert is May 7

SEATTLE — The Seattle Labor Chorus will present STRIKE! a fundraising concert from 5 to 6 p.m. on Saturday, May 7.

In the glorious, centuries-old tradition of labor movement music, the Seattle Labor Chorus offers an evening concert with inspirational stories of workers struggling for power to bring about social, economic, racial, and environmental justice. Register to join this live-streamed AND in-person event and make a financial contribution to help sustain the Labor Chorus. If public health conditions allow, they will have room for a small live audience. Seating will be limited at a Seattle location to be identified May 1.

Suggested donation is $20 but all are welcome, no matter the amount donated. Contribute whatever you can. If you can give more than $20, that would be a great help to keep the Labor Chorus strong. Once you have registered, you will receive a Zoom link to join the concert. If you want to join us in-person please select that option during registration. You will get a phone call and an email on May 1 if you are chosen from our lottery to attend the live event. There will be limited seating and masks are mandatory.

The Labor Chorus is a non-profit, membership organization. All singers pay dues and contribute in other ways as well. Annual donations from unions and other labor organizations also enable us to support workers’ struggles at picket lines and rallies. Financial support from fans and supporters in the community is essential to cover expenses so we can keep singing for justice, safety, peace, and power for all working people.

Interested in joining the Seattle Labor Chorus? They are a non-audition chorus and rehearsals are hybrid (over Zoom and in-person) on Tuesdays at 7 p.m. either in Zoomland or at Keystone Church, 5019 Keystone Pl. N. in Seattle. Send questions to seattlelaborchorus@gmail.com.
