Women Sing Out Against Nuclear Madness - Sunday, Aug. 9th (Nagasaki Remembrance Day)

hosted by
Louise Hetzler & Sharleen Leahey

To sign up to sing, please email:  sharleenleahey@gmail.com

On the 81st anniversary of the US dropping of an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Nagasaki, women artists will gather to share songs in opposition to Nuclear Weapons and Nuclear Power. The so-called "Nuclear Renaissance" being promoted by elected officials (of both parties) and the nuclear industry is a return to the dark ages. Billions of tax dollars now being misappropriated to "modernize" the US nuclear weapons arsenal and build a new generation of nuclear power reactors are taking us in the wrong direction. 

Join us for memorable and enlightening performances by women artists sharing original and cover songs of resistance and empowerment, to advocate for peace and the renewable energy future our children and generations not yet born deserve.

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 helps to promote 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: One hour before showtime @ 6:00 pm ET (3:00 pm PT).

Performers are invited to a technical orientation session, 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.
