This is the most nonviolent tune I have ever heard. We sing it with men. When it comes to ‘Women’s stories,’ we split off. They sing ‘Men’s stories,’ at the same time, then go on to say, ‘men’ while we say, ‘women,’ and at the end it’s ‘change by all.’ Because just as men need to be called to account for their attitudes towards violence, in the opposite way, so do women – stronger & braver for starters.

Violence, violence
Eats away at all of us
Violence has faces, scary spaces, Accomplices
Violence, violence
Movies, tv, books & jokes
Misogyny a regular host
Fear the most, innocence lost
Violence, violence needs women’s stories,
Women strong
Women’s voices, women’s songs
And CHANGE by all!
