Singing Resistance Walpole
March 14 @ 9:00 am – 10:00 am EDT
Singing Resistance Walpole is a new choir in the area, and you are invited to join us! Sponsored by the Walpole Peace and Justice Group, Neponset Valley Progressives, the Justice and Witness Ministry at United Church in Walpole (UCW) and others, this choir will meet for just the second time, on Saturday, March 14.
Singing Resistance is a mass movement of singers, rising out of the experience of people in Minneapolis, now spreading throughout the country, with a goal of “protecting and caring for our communities in the face of rising authoritarianism”. We are looking to build a Singing Resistance Choir in this part of Massachusetts, excited about the opportunity to support others through music, serving our communities as a source of strength and hope, part of a “loving, nonviolent, and joyful civil resistance movement in the US”.
Last week, at our first meeting, we learned two beautiful and powerful new songs. Though far from being professional singers, we sounded great and actually followed up by walking our songs out to a peace vigil being held in the center of town! We will be learning several more songs this week and next and anticipate sharing our singing with people in local towns on No Kings Day, March 28!
We urge you to join us on Saturday, March 14 to learn new songs and old – “Resilience”, “Hold On”, “We Are Here with our Neighbors”, “We Shall Not Be Moved”- songs easy to pick up, inspiring, empowering, and just fun to sing together.
Note: Our meeting this Saturday will be held in the sanctuary of United Church. Enter the church at a side door on the right, off a large parking lot, behind Turning Point Recovery Center. If parking is tight, you might look for spaces in the municipal parking lot near-by, behind the Walpole Town Hall.
