Protest choirs springing up in Colorado hope to sing the world they want into existence

[Nittersing]

Singing Resistance movement, Raging Grannies use “radically welcoming” song in nonviolent resistance to what they see as a rise in authoritarianism in the U.S. They’ll be out at No Kings marches Saturday.

"Thousands of people are expected to participate in more than 70 No Kings protests Saturday in Colorado, joining millions across the United States and the world in holding aloft signs to share their grievances against the Trump administration as they march or rally in public spaces.

And many will be singing.

The Singing Resistance movement has swept the country since video clips filled phones and television screens in January, showing hundreds of Minnesota protesters singing in solidarity to protect neighbors. They even sang to ICE agents to encourage a change of heart.

The response was so overwhelming that within a month the organizers in Minnesota had created an online songbook and a tool kit to help others start Singing Resistance choirs. Two online training sessions in one week drew 2,500 participants at each one, and one Colorado organizer said there were about 100 Coloradans among them.

At least a half dozen singing groups have formed in Colorado, some by singers and others by people who profess to be tone deaf. They are in the Gunnison Valley, the Roaring Fork Valley, Boulder, Longmont, Colorado Springs and Denver — and they all will be at protests this weekend."
