Brockton Singing Resistance organizing meeting
April 13 @ 7:00 pm – 7:30 pm EDT
Minneapolis showed us the power of Singing Resistance, catalyzing the formation of groups all around the country. A few of us in Brockton brought increased energy and joy to NO KINGS Brockton, and we want to continue singing at protests.
Brockton Singing Resistance is planned not to be a choir, but instead to get other people singing and adding energy to protests and other events. Outdoor singing is challenging, so we prioritize enthusiasm and loudness over vocal skill — and no music experience necessary. If we succeed it is not by pleasing listeners, but by getting others to sing!
It’s practically impossible to sing live at this (very short!) Zoom meeting, but we CAN Zoom to see how many are interested in an ongoing Brockton Singing Resistance, and decide when to meet in person, and decide what comes next!
In the meantime, here are two YouTube playlists. The first contains a variety of music that livened up NO KINGS Brockton, while the second is the songs we sang when we gathered for that purpose — these are simple and repetitive so people can learn them on the fly. See how you like them! Bring a playlist or song ideas of your own to share at the Zoom!
A core principle behind all Indivisible events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.
