notes

Anne Feeney has been on the frontlines for decades now, speaking truth to power. Utah Phillips says "Anne Feeney is the best labor singer in North America." Peter, Paul and Mary sing her anthem "Have You Been to Jail for Justice?" She is on the road going wherever the s#!t hits the fan to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable. She is based in Pittsburgh, PA but you might have seen her perform in Seattle during the WTO uprising; at the EU Summit protests in Copenhagen; the G8 protests in Kananaskis, Alberta; the April 25 March for Women's Lives; in the documentary film "This is What Democracy Looks Like"; or any of hundreds of strikes, rallies and riots. Or maybe you saw her perform at a house concert in your living room; a university course on Women's Studies, Labor Law or Globalization; a conference on Labor History or Environmental Activism; a festival in the US, Canada or Sweden. Wherever you saw her, you won't forget her. Listen in.....
