Singing Resistance Lancaster Organizing Meeting
We are seeking to create at least one Singing Resistance group here in Lancaster. Please join us to learn more and help plan.

Purpose of organizing a Lancaster SR core:
1) teaching simple, singable songs to as many folks as we can, using the Singing Resistance Minneapolis songbook
2) gathering as many potential song-leaders as possible to be present for an event so that, as actions come up, we’ll have a group of “on call” leaders who can help provide musical support/presence
3) make clear the role of music and group singing as a means of resistance, peacemaking, community care, and community identity.
4) JOY! LOVE! COMMUNITY! PEACE! through Singing Resistance
**This event is sponsored by Singing Resistance Lancaster, hosted at Grandview Church Lancaster, and endorsed by Indivisible. This is a non-partisan, pro-democracy gathering, based on the Core Principles established by the Singing Resistance Movement:**
• We are building a large movement of singers that is radically welcoming
• In the context of rising authoritarianism, we believe we need a mass civil resistance movement
• We take regular action, grounded in solidarity and noncooperation
• We sing not only for the world that we want to create, but to create that world right here and now
• We sing songs that are simple, taught by ear, are relevant to these times
• We seek to end all oppressive systems
**All Indivisible and Singing Resistance actions are peaceful and nonviolent. Here is a link to a fuller statement: https://indivisible.org/about/our-commitment-to-nonviolence/**
A Message of Welcome from the Host: “Grandview Church is proud to host this event as it so beautifully aligns with our core belief to love God and neighbor. Music plays a vital role in our community and tradition and we look forward to singing with all who fill the room on March 8.”
