WHAT IS WE SHALL OVERCOME?
We Shall Overcome is a movement of musicians, artists and community organisers who are angry about the human costs of austerity policies but who want to do something practical to help those affected. Between September and October we’re encouraging people to organise gigs and events that will –
1. Get direct help to those in our local communities who have been adversely affected by austerity policies.
2. Raise awareness, show solidarity or apply pressure to those who have political power
We operate under the tagline ‘A RAISED FIST & A HELPING HAND’
THE RAISED FIST
We Shall Overcome was launched as a reaction to the 2015 election and the prospect of another five years of austerity policies. A group of musicians decided to put together a coordinated series of events in defiance of the Tory victory, but more specifically, the ever-deepening cuts to come. We considered, and still do, Austerity to be an ideological attack on our communities and we oppose it outright.
We decided to use our events not just to protest against Austerity with words, but through our actions, to help those suffering most under it. We are NOT a charity and we are NOT apolitical. We are however non-Party Political.
We are ANTI-AUSTERITY and we are PRO-COMMUNITY. We exist to bring people together, not to tear them apart; we are a broad alliance of like-minded people looking to help, protest, unite our communities and entertain.
THE HELPING HAND
What makes WSO different is that we use our energy not only to protest Austerity, but to work at easing its burden on our communities. Each event is used to directly help the community in which it is based. We are not a central fund, so YOU (the local organiser) decide where the help you have raised goes according to need in YOUR town.
Some events ask for donations of provisions for their local food bank rather than an entrance fee, others charge a moderate fee and take cash donations in a bucket; some do both. There is no template here. To become a part of WSO all you need is the desire to see an end to Austerity, and the guts to do something about it- if you have, we’ll support you all the way.
WHO RUNS ‘WE SHALL OVERCOME’?
There is no organisation behind this. It is steered by a community of volunteers who created the idea, the logo, the website etc. But each gig and event is independently run and promoted locally. No money comes through ‘We Shall Overcome’, the causes that are supported are chosen locally by individual promoters.

The WSO Huddersfield event is on September 29th 2017 - link
