Worthy Wage Movement Song #5: “The More We Get Together”

Worthy Wage Movement Song #5: “The More We Get Together”

The more we get together, together, together
The more we get together the stronger we are.
‘Cause your friends are my friends.
And my friends are your friends.
The more we get together the stronger we are!

The more we get together, together, together
The more we get together the stronger we are.
‘Cause you vote and I vote
And I vote and you vote.
The more we get together the stronger we are!

The more we get together, together, together
The more we get together the stronger we are.
“Cause your future is my future
And my future is your future,
The more we get together the stronger we are!

Child care teacher activists during the Worthy Wage movement created these lyrics to highlight problems within the #childcare system and call for rights, raises, and respect.

For more information about the #WorthyWage movement, check out ECHOES, a CSCCE project coming about the history of early care and education and teacher activism for a more just system. Celebrate #WorthyWage day on May 1 and the following week each year! https://cscce.berkeley.edu/projects/echoes/activist-movements/#comp-movement

This recording was sung by staff at the Center for the Study of Child Care Employment at UC Berkeley in 2022: Tobi Adejumo, Yoonjeon Kim, Krista Olson, Anna Powell, Penelope Whitney, along with Lauren Cunningham, and produced by Anna Powell.
