From a press release:
“Who: Brazilians For Democracy and Justice – DC, Extinction Rebellion DC, DC Climate Strike, Sunrise Movement DC, DC United Against Hate and others.
What: Demonstrators will gather at the Brazilian Embassy on Monday at 6:30pm to mourn the destruction of the Amazon rainforest and protest the continued oppression of indigenous peoples by President Jair Bolsonaro’s far right regime.
Where: Embassy of Brazil in Washington, DC. 3006 Massachusetts Ave NW, Washington, DC 20008-3634, United States
When: 6:30-8:30pm, Monday, 26 August, 2019
Why: The Amazon is intentionally being burned in the interest of agribusiness and cattle ranching spurred on by Bolsonaro’s dangerous policies. Experts say it is approaching a tipping point after which it would not recover. The result of the destruction of this massive carbon sink would have dire consequences for global climate stability. We stand in solidarity with the Indigenous people who have led the fights against these fires. Bolsonaro has intentionally targeted Indigenous peoples, allowing the destruction of their communities and refusing to respect indigenous rights. It is time to act.”

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
