Deadline to register to perform: Thursday, March 26, at 11:59 PM (ET)
PMN is hosting our third annual online concert in honor of Women’s History Month. Join other PMN singers, songwriters and poets to share your vision for women’s rights, peace, and justice through song! This year's event will be hosted by Joanie Calem and Nikki Nesbary.
Women’s History Month traces its origins back to the first Women’s Day March in 1909, organized by socialist women in New York City to amplify the call for women’s rights and to honor the memory of the city’s garment workers’ strikes. Two years later, the International Conference of Socialist Women established International Women’s Day, now celebrated in over 80 countries worldwide. It has become an annual day of radical activism for women’s rights and against war. In the United States, the day expanded into Women’s History Week (1980) and eventually into Women’s History Month (1987).
When you register, you have a chance to make a donation to support PMN's work: sustaining a vibrant and diverse community space in which music is a catalyst for a just and peaceful world.

How to Participate
PMN members and invited artists can register to share a song or a poem and/or to be part of the audience for this event. After registering, you'll receive an e-mail with the Zoom link. Due to time constraints and a vibrant community of artists keen to participate, it isn't always possible to include every interested performer in the final line-up. In that case, we'll make a wait list. Most people perform live, but we also welcome pre-recorded videos, preceded by a live introduction.
Technical Orientation Session: 45 minutes before showtime @ 6:15pm (ET) / 3:15pm (PT).
Performers are invited to a technical orientation session, 45 minutes before showtime, where we practice how to get the best sound when doing a musical performance on Zoom. Each performer may sing a verse of a song and receive feedback to improve the audio quality. Artists new to Zoom are strongly encouraged to attend the tech orientation, because doing so will build your confidence in using these tools. The audio quality of your live performance depends on the equipment you have and how you use it. Check out this great resource for performers wanting to get their best audio quality on Zoom. It comes from our friends at Folk Alliance Region Midwest: https://www.farmfolk.org/zoom-performer-toolbox/
