Who are the singers? Everyone! YOU! Anyone who wants to sing in solidarity and show up in resistance to authoritarianism.
Join us at a Community Sing and/or at a Singing ACTION Event.
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.
One of our goals is to tell the story of a loving, nonviolent, and joyful civil resistance movement in the US. Our singing actions are a powerful counter-narrative to the current regime's assertion that those on the Left are domestic terrorists. Through singing, we can quickly tell a story of who we are - loving, fierce, nonviolent. Join us in song!

Join us for a Singing Resistance Central Coast (SRCC) Community Sing in solidarity at the annual “Queerwood” celebration at Beerwood in Baywood-Los Osos — a joyful family-friendly gathering featuring vendors, community resources, games, music, and performances.
SRCC will be singing around 2:00 PM for a 20–30 minute community set, immediately followed by Dee’s “Joyful Rhythms” Drum Circle — come sing, drum, and celebrate with us! (No experience required!)
Singing resistance and pride have long been powerful expressions of nonviolent activism, healing, and collective belonging. When we sing together, we dissolve fear, strengthen connection, and create space for all people to be seen, celebrated, and supported in their full humanity.
"Singing Resistance carries a tradition shaped by Black, queer, and gender expansive people who understood that song is how movements stay human, how courage returns to the body, and how communities remain connected when the work is long and the outcome uncertain."
