Welcome to the SF area chapter of Singing Resistance!
Singing Resistance is a movement that started in response to the ICE invasion of Minnesota. The core MN organizers put out a call, toolkit, and training for people to mobilize Singing Resistance chapters across the US, and San Francisco is answering that call! We welcome everyone into the movement for collective liberation.
We are 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 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. This form will help us learn more about you and help you get connected with the Singing Resistance SF hub and SR-SF pods.
Our organizing happens largely in person and on the encrypted messaging app Signal. We are committed to information security and will only contact you with information directly related to Singing Resistance SF meetings and/or actions.
