Peoples Music Network

The People's Music Network for Songs of Freedom and Struggle is a nonprofit organization that serves as a network of musicians, activists, performers, and others, who use music and culture to promote progressive ideas and values. Founded in 1977 by Pete Seeger and Charlie King, the organization has two gatherings each year, one in upstate New York in the summer, and one in late January in various cities (usually on the east coast of the US, but sometimes in other locations). The gatherings serve to provide networking opportunities for artists and activists, offering workshops on various topics (environmental songs, women's songs, etc.), a Round Robin where each performer can sing for all others, and "Songs of the Spirit" where inspiring a capella songs are sung.
