Songs:

Raised Voices have prepared a songsheet and other singing resources – some familiar, some new.

And Sámi singer Sara Marielle Gaup Beaska has put a call out for people around the world to sing her Yoik in solidarity with indigenous people the world over to acknowledge the disproportionate impact climate change is having, and will have on their lives if we do not act now to reduce our impact on this earth we live on. Video with her story and song here.

Time to Act! on Climate Change

Following on from the tremendous success of the People’s Climate March in September, on March 7th 2015, the Time to Act on Climate Change march will bring people together again on the streets of London to demand real change and tell politicians seeking election that there is no mandate for climate-wrecking business as usual.

2015 is a crucial year for the climate. In December, governments will come together in Paris to strike a new deal for the climate – we must make our voices heard.

See details of the march and transport from many areas on the Campaign against Climate Change website

Choirs and singers are invited to join in singing songs to share our concerns and hopes for the climate – details will be confirmed soon but will include the song ‘Do It Now!’ (to the tune of Bella Ciao) – words are available from Sheffield Climate Alliance here
