I heard about The Daily Antidote this past summer, just as my reserves of hope – for the planet, for racial justice, for the whole raggedy human family – were really beginning to sputter…. Having the Daily Antidote has been a shot of joy, straight up. I love to see everyone swaying to an old or a new civil rights song, to support artists who are embody keeping on keeping on . And I’m so grateful for the Daily Antidote’s reminding us all that our joy is our greatest source of power. - Paula, New York

I want to say thank you for your kindness and warmth, which shines through every day at noon. I've spent a lot of time alone in the house, and being with the Antidote crew each day has meant a lot to me. Thank you for all the effort you've put into the Antidote of Song, it's been totally worthwhile! - Pete, Florida

I just have to say that what you are doing with the Daily Antidote of Song is so deeply healing and life affirming, bringing light, joy, love, laughter and hope!!!! I tossed a few pence into the donation pot and wish I could more, for your gifts are priceless!!! Kindest regards. - Duncan, England

I live alone and have no family in the area. The Daily Antidote of Song has become my family. We come together to do more than sing. We laugh, we cry, we dance (yes, dance), share information about music concerts or other singing opportunities, tell jokes, show off pets, clap, snap, play instruments, but most of all WE SEE EACH OTHER. - Carolyn, Idaho
