We will gradually, step by step, emerge from our lockdown, and hopefully uncover our faces and draw closer and touch. The defense against he pandemic has become symbolic of our powerlessness and financial terror in the face of aggressive institutions. We are suffering a separation from each other, and from public space, and from each other in public space. But if and when the virus sets us free, we must use the lessons of care-giving that we learned during this terrible time to defend ourselves from the flood of products, religions, credit schemes, conjobs of all kinds - that are bound to target us. This will be a time of change, but let’s create the change ourselves.  Change-a-lujah! ---- The Stop Shopping Choir’s music director is Nehemiah Luckett.
