Music and Movement Mentioned on the Covenant with Black America Website

Music and Movement was mentioned today on the Covenant with Black America Website.  The blog posting, "Power to the People-Powered Internet", highlighted important ways that the Internet contributes to brining people together and creating social change.  Check it out at www.covenantwithblackamerica.com. Music and Movement uses the Internet to bring people together so that music can bind us together. We appreciate the recognition.

What is Music and Movement?

Music and Movement is a social innovation.  It's a new way for people to come together to share music with each other.  It can transform any regular party into a novel social occassion where sharing a little bit of yourself--in the music you love--can turn an afternoon or evening gathering into a one-of-a-kind experience.  Mostly M&M is a way to bring good energy, discussion, and music out of each other and into a fun get-together.  It has been used in the Bay Area to share information about what's happening in the local community as well as provide opportunities for people to become involved in political and civic events.  There have been dozens of entertaining Music and Movement meetings since it began in 2004.  Check out the Music and Movement Manual below to learn more about how M&M Meetings work and how to start hosting you're own.
