For 40 years, our voices have risen together in song for peace, justice, and community. To all who sang with us, joined us, supported us, and shared this journey across generations, thank you.

Syracuse Community Choir
Hope – Courage – Resistance
Singing Resistance Syracuse
“It’s okay to change your mind. Show us your courage. Leave this behind. It’s okay to change your mind. And you can join us. Join us here anytime,” Annie Schlaefer, Singing Resistance Twin Cities
Singing Resistance began in Minneapolis and has grown into a movement of voices rising across the country. Now, Syracuse is joining communities nationwide using song to build solidarity, care for our neighbors, and work for justice in the face of raising authoritarianism. We gather in love, nonviolence, and collective action.
We sing because song counters fear and creates connection. Through singing together in public spaces, we name what we hold sacred, find strength in each other, and voice our commitment to peace and collective liberation.
Will You Lend Your Voice to this Movement?
Singing Resistance is not…
- a performance
- worship or affiliated with any singular faith tradition
- an end-all-be-all, isolated solution
Singing Resistance is…
- protest
- radically welcoming
- a call-to-action
- nonviolent but we seek to dismantle the systems of oppression that led to this current regime
With Thanks to Our Generous Supporters and Community Partners
