The Cambridge Peace and Justice Chorus<br>
David Fillingham Music Director Brenda Steinberg Founder<br>
Contact David Fillingham at dfillingham@pobox.com or 617 230-1904<br>
The first organizational meeting is on Thursday, September 15th at 7:00 at the New School of Music. The address is: 25 Lowell Street (opposite Mt. Auburn Hospital). We plan to meet on Thursdays.<br>
<br>
We will start as a singalong. The chorus will perform at events of Cambridge for Justice with Peace, at shelters for the homeless, The Children’s Hospital, Veterans Shelter, etc. Wherever we can help people who need a lift, feel isolated, yearn for peace. But mostly we are singing for each other. <br>

It is the artists of the world, the feelers and thinkers, who will ultimately save us; who can articulate, educate, insist, sing, and shout the big dreams.<br>

You are me, and I am you.<br>
Isn't it obvious that we "inter-are"?<br>
You cultivate the flower in yourself,<br>
so that I will be beautiful.<br>
I transform the garbage in myself,<br>
so that you will not have to suffer.<br>
<br>
I support you;<br>
you support me.<br>
I am in this world to offer you peace;<br>
you are in this world to bring me joy<br>
