Why banner drops & local civil campaigns matter: disrupt passersby' veneer of normalcy, create community safety nets, share resources, create action networks, combat paralysis--& invite people to participate in joy as resistance.

I love it!! Singing + Resistance! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

"Singing Resistance" Minneapolis, MN Sunday, Jan. 11, 2026

www.facebook.com/reel/7923305... Our Baltimore chapter in action over the weekend at Renee Good vigil

This is beautiful, simple, chilling, powerful. We are adding this to our repertoire.

Thanks @indivisibler1c.bsky.social for including us in this vigil. It was quite moving to hear those names read out.

ICE Out for Good vigil today in Hyattsville. #nokings #iceoutforgood

It's shame that we've reached point that we need to hold FOUR area vigils in a single weekend. It's a testament to our growth that we can. Today the Baltimore and NoVa chapters supported vigils in Baltimore and Herndon. Tomorrow we're singing at two in the DC area. Join us at rrchoir.org/join

@chrisgeidner.bsky.social A more somber candlelight vigil for Renee Nicole Good at Sherman Park last night. A bit of song from members of the Rapid Response Choir @rapidresponsechoir.bsky.social a reading of one of Renee's poems, and words from a Free DC co-founder @freedcproject.bsky.social

Nonviolent resistance works. We the people--showing up--matter.

A testimony to power of music from a Rapid Response Choir J6 vigil in Virginia: > One man was heckling for most of the time. After about 20 minutes of his tirade, we started singing "This little light of mine..."

Tonight we held vigil with 3rd Act Virginia, 3rd Act Md (@thirdactmd.bsky.social), and 3rd Act DC, to remember how close we came to losing our democracy 5 years ago, and to honor the men and women who put their bodies and their lives on the line to uphold democracy.

First NoVa RRC Practice is TOMORROW - 6:30 pm in Herndon. Details at www.rrchoir.org/events/nova-... - Join us!

Thanks DC activist street band for joining us in Down by the Riverside! DCAsb.org

We are on our way!

Thanks @sethcotlar.bsky.social for a musical rejoinder to Stephen Miller. We'll consider adding this to our repertoire.

sojo.net/articles/new... 'I had never run a choir or even done much song leading ... until I decided this needed to be done,” the co-founder said. “It makes me feel so much comfort and joy to wake up and say, “Well, the news is awful, but at least we’re here, trying to do something about it.”'

Thank you to the Rapid Response Choir for using your voices to build community as we fight together for democracy and justice in America! @rapidresponsechoir.bsky.social youtube.com/shorts/ToFL1...

We are gentle angry people singing for our lives and the lives of our neighbors! 🎶 @rapidresponsechoir.bsky.social

Woman comes to US at age 6. Graduates nursing school. Work permit. No criminal record. Snatched and imprisoned by ICE for 6 months now. About to be forced back to Honduras. A life destroyed and one less nurse. Merry Christmas. www.nola.com/news/educati...

Whose arts? OUR ARTS! We're taking back our Kennedy Center - 10 a.m. Saturday -- Join us! actionnetwork.org/events/prote...

Last night at our Member Appreciation Social, members told us the best things about our group: We've built a community, we welcome diverse perspectives and we've channeled anxiety into action. ❤️ They also appreciated the pie, cake and coffee! 🥧🍰🍨☕ If you want to join us, go to indivisibler1c.org.

Nice shout-out in The Guardian! www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Virginia is for Singers! Northern Virginia chapter now forming -- sign up at docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... Practice location etc still under development -- join now and help get us rolling.

Violence should have no place in our country. If there's a vigil or prayer service for the injured National Guard members, we would welcome the chance to support that - reach out to [email protected]

Thank you for fighting for our scientists and for NASA here in Maryland! #IndivisibleMD 🇺🇸

Spotify is running recruitment ads for ICE. A platform built to connect creators and listeners is helping an authoritarian regime build up its secret police force. But we’re not going to idly accept that. We’re going to make Spotify listen: indivisible.org/cancel-spoti... #CancelSpotify

Just ordered 25 kazoos and sheet music

The DC ACLU is suing on behalf of a man who was arrested by a National Guardsman and MPD officers for playing the Imperial March (from Star Wars) as an act of protest. www.acludc.org/app/uploads/...

Thanks all to who are signing up at rrchoir.org/join -- and for these lovely comments from NK2: > I spontaneously encountered you today (10/18) at the No Kings II protest. And singing with the group for a few songs was a highlight of my day 🎶 1/3

Thanks for singing for truth, joy + democracy #nokings #freedc @rapidresponsechoir.bsky.social

With 40+ choir members, and hundreds of passersby joining in, NK2 was our biggest single day event yet AND we had simultaneous events in Hyattsville, MD, and Chesterton, MD. Want to start your own chapter? Reach out and we'll get you started!

Amazing day in DC on Pennsylvania Ave - "This joy that I have, the world didn't give it to me..."

❌👑2️⃣ - Come sing with Rapid Response Choir at No Kings 2 in DC! See joining information at beta.rrchoir.org/join/ -- you'll get an invite with more info... (Check out the NK1 video for some of the fun: bsky.app/profile/jaym...)

Went to the BFF/Why can't we be friends? statue on the National Mall on Sunday for a pop-up concert by @rapidresponsechoir.bsky.social . Made a video of it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSDk... #TrumpAndEpstein #TheSecretHandShake #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles #EpsteinFiles

An @onthemedia.bsky.social hat makes an appearance at a @rapidresponsechoir.bsky.social event. Two entities that help me make it through these times!

Our members out in West Hyattsville today, offering support to a neighborhood that's been targeted by ICE, including the horrific arrest that occurred in a busy intersection on Wednesday. Our communities stand together. Thank you @rapidresponsechoir.bsky.social for joining us. #meltice

“It makes me feel so much comfort and joy to wake up and say, ‘Well, the news is awful, but at least we’re here, trying to do something about it.’” - Peter Burkolder, @rapidresponsechoir.bsky.social via @Sojo.net This is what advocacy looks like. Read more:

"about 100 people gathered Sunday near BWI to raise awareness about the airline — and protest its role in deportations," incl. Rapid Response Choir rapidresponsechoir.org and @thirdactmd.bsky.social members.

our protest today with @docs4campclosure.bsky.social @rapidresponsechoir.bsky.social @mdcdsa.bsky.social @orhoco.bsky.social @eyesonice-bmore.bsky.social @eyesonice-md-cc.bsky.social @eyesonice.bsky.social @stopavelo.bsky.social @dsainternational.bsky.social @indivisible.org

Give the @rapidresponsechoir.bsky.social a follow. Here they are with a new verse for the union song, “Which Side Are You On?” Right now, Avelo Airlines is on the side of ICE and concentration camps and not on the side of common decency. #BoycottAvelo #AveloWorksWithICE

Avelo Airlines is fueling ICE’s deportation machine — for $150M. We showed up today outside of Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) to say: Not in our city. Not in our name. #StopICEFlights

The RRC will be singing in support of Texas Moms Rising actionnetwork.org/events/texas... - July 21, the Ellipse. Join us, won't you?

Very nice 138th birthday party across from the Canadian embassy in DC this morning. You're welcome to sing a long at home, folks! Thank you, @rapidresponsechoir.bsky.social, for a very meaningful event (and the shady location).

A great moment! Americans celebrate Canada Day by serenading the Canadian embassy in DC, a good reminder that most of us are not down with any of Trump's lunacies. Many thanks to @climateboomer.bsky.social for leadership!

I once sang O Canada! in Scots Gaelic at the cèilidh that closed an immersion week in Toronto, but that was a good 10 years ago. Better to be singing it in English at tomorrow's Canada Day friendship serenade at the embassy in DC. Just printed out my songbook from rapidresponsechoir.org/songs

In or near DC? Join us! Can’t make it? Tell your friends! There will be Canada Solidarity events in Detroit and Chucago, too! (See comments for those links) actionnetwork.org/events/ameri... O Canada! Americans Celebrate Canada Day - Action Network @thirdactoh.bsky.social

Beautiful idea from some of my @thirdactorg.bsky.social colleagues July 1 is Canada Day, and so they'll be outside Canadian embassies/consulates serenading them with O Canada and other tunes, all to show that most of us really truly like our neighbors to the north actionnetwork.org/events/ameri...
