Songs of Protest
Songs of Protest was created by Eastside Community Heritage and in partnership with Newham Woodcraft Folk. The songs included in this book were inspired by learning about the No M11 Link Road Campaign. The songs and pictures included document resistance and struggle that have been sung in defiance at the sites of protest throughout history.

Lock Ourselves Here for a While
By Robin Grey
''No we ain't going nowhere, let's climb up the trees
Someone must stick up for the birds and the bees
The poor have no lawyers, the fields have no rights
Let’s lock ourselves here for a while''
