Community Music Video Recording - Looking For Invites

Decarcerate the Garden State is looking for opportunities to make music videos in your community.

We particularly want to partner up with youth groups and individual youths, families, etc.

We bring lyric sheets and video recording equipment.

We bring a back ground sound track maybe with or without the lyrics.

We need one or a few youth to hopefully learn the lyrics to serve as the chorus leaders.

Everyone that comes - youth and adult as well - participates.

Everyone joins in the chorus . . .

Nine Nine
Attica State
September Nine
Was Attica State 
For the rest of the piece - the crowd should jump in and out - saying a line - half a line - word - to add some inflection and exclamation.

It will be rough but it will be street chorus.  The sound we collect and the vids we collect will be posted individually but also made available for mixing into remixes of the piece.

If you would like to help bring your community together around such a recorded performance, call 908-881-5275 (or text) - write Decarc@DecarcerateNJ.org .

We do plan to attempt to do this at the Plainfield event this Saturday July 16:

Nine Nine
Attica State
September Nine
Was Attica State

Nine Nine
Now Enslaved
September Nine
When We Break the Chains

When we put down the tools
And we give it a rest
Non Violent
Enslavement Protest

13^th Amendment
Supposed to set us free
Read it again
Was never meant to be

punishment for crime
duly convicted
your labor is now 

forcefully conscripted

Nine Nine
Attica State
September Nine
Was Attica State

Nine Nine
Now Enslaved
September Nine
When We Break the Chains

Corporations
Standing in line
Your free labor
Pumps their bottom line

Government saving
On those pension jobs
It got millions of free workers
Whose labor gets robbed

On September 9
We gonna make a change
Gonna take a stand
Gonna turn the page

No matter how we’re treated
Our lives have worth
We’ll say “Not today”
When they Call us to work

We're exposing the system
Prison for profit
Money off enslavement
We’re gonna stop it

We’re gonna free the enslaved
By freeing  ourselves
Laying down our tools
Leave them on the shelf

No more work for pennies
Or even less
The system is wicked
We’re Giving it a restNine Nine
Attica State
September Nine
Was Attica State

Nine Nine
