Language from the Singing Resistance Movement:
WHAT IS SINGING RESISTANCE?
Singing Resistance is building a mass movement of singers to protect and care for our communities in the face of rising authoritarianism. We are grounded in love, nonviolence, and solidarity. In the context of intense and escalating violence towards our communities and federal invasions of our cities and towns, we sing because song is an antidote to fear, song helps us connect to each other, and through song we can name and protect what we hold sacred. We sing publicly in the streets for the sake of solace, strength, solidarity, to voice our dissent, and to refuse cooperation with oppressive and autocratic forces.
We welcome everyone into the movement for collective liberation, and we are fighting for a future in which all people - Black, Brown, Indigenous, immigrant, trans, queer, disabled, poor - and the Earth are safe and sovereign. Through song, we can refuse to obey what authoritarianism wants us to do - get small, numb out, and forget. Instead, we will mobilize our communities in public, we will feel, and we will tell the truth of the violence and of the resistance. Through our actions we seek to embody and represent that which we are fighting for: beloved communities of strong ties, coming together in defense of life, where all are loved and cared for.

*Please note that this is not a “formal choir”—rather, this is a chance for us to bring our voices together in solidarity while encouraging others to join, and to learn songs we can bring directly into action. Everyone is welcome, and you do not need to have any musical experience.
Expect to learn 4-5 short songs that you will be able to remember by ear (tinyurl.com/songbookSR). After we gather, those who can will go to B.A. Clark Park for Say It Saturday at 2:00, a weekly protest in Spokane. We will sing the songs we have learned together at Say It Saturday, usually at the corner of Garland and Division. You can join us at Westminster at noon, BA Clark at 2:00, or both!
Come join us, and bring a friend! There are a number of people working behind the scenes to plan this particular event, but if you need to contact someone or have any questions, please reach out to Liz, Polly, or DM this page.
