Protest Songs Old and New: A Singalong by Michael Hersher

Sunday, March 22, 2026, 02:00pm-04:00pm. Doors open 1:45.
Location : Reason Center, 1300 Ethan Way, Suite 675, Sacramento.
Sponsored by Atheists & Other Freethinkers.

Michael Hersher will tell you the history of, and lead you in singing, some old
and new songs related to unions, immigration, peace, women's rights, and class
struggle. Michael will bring the words; you bring the spirit!

Michael worked for many years as a lawyer for the State of California on farm
worker labor relations and public education. He ended up as a mediator for
special education disputes. He has been a folk singer and political activist since
the 60s, having grown up in a family of freethinkers and atheists. Michael’s
parents were victims of McCarthyism in the 50s.
In the last 40 years, Michael has performed and taught protest songs to comfort
and inspire folks on picket lines, demonstrations, and in classrooms and places of
worship.
