Raging Grannies . . . and Their Friends, Westchester County, NY
The Raging Grannies . . . and Their friends of Westchester, NY, are part of the International Raging Grannies. We sing new words to familiar tunes about the issues of peace, the environment and social justice. Satirical and serious, we are politically conscious but non-partisan. Rehearsals/Meetings take place on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month, 7 - 9 p.m., in the town of Croton-on-Hudson.

Where will we sing next?

On Tuesday, September 23rd, we will be part of a Peace Cabaret at the New Rochelle Public Library, co-sponsored by the Westchester Peace & Justice Coalition, Peace Action New Rochelle, Peace Action New York State, Westchester Progressive Forum, Code Pink Westchester, No War Westchester, and WESPAC. The event, held to honor our soldiers, living, fallen, and wounded, begins at 7 PM. We expect to go on early in the program, so be prompt! Raging Grannies are activists first, "entertainers" second, maybe third. Real entertainment will be part of the cabaret, which will be hosted by Michelle Washington. Actress Ruby Dee will speak and Theresa Sareo will sing. There will be a band called Shiny New Toys and a performance by Mario Giacalone. Anti-war activist and Iraqi War vet Chris Miller will talk with the audience. The Public is invited to attend free of charge. There will be light refreshments

Watch for us on Progressive News Network (PNN) cablecasts on your local public access station. We taped a program where we sing and talk about why we do what we do. You can watch it online at http://blip.tv/file/1179393. If you've seen it, please let us know what you think. It has also been shown on channel 76, the Community Access Channel of White Plains. If you missed it, tell them to put it on again! If you want the program on your local public access station, find out how to get it, and let us know about it.

Since we use song to protest and raise awareness of issues, we pop up at rallies, demonstrations, protests--you name it. Sometimes we don’t get enough advance notice to post the next event on this website. Keep watching this space.
