More from Religion News Service on our recent series of Sing-In events held in conjunction with interfaith leaders and attended by hundreds of New Yorkers of all religions (and none!) religionnews.com/2026/02/27/m...
As Harry Belafonte once told us, "When the movement is strong, the music is strong!" See you this Saturday 3/28 for No Kings Day in NYC!
"Across the United States, musical groups are taking up the mantle to feed the spirit of music and song in the movement space, and use cultural tools for collective change." — from Shado Mag's Ning Chan
Our recent ICE Out Sing-In series with @interfaithalliance.org + @middlechurch.bsky.social featured in Shado Mag: "Today we are experiencing a revival of a revival of a revival – both in the movements for liberation we are fighting and the music we are making" shado-mag.com/articles/hea...
Kicking off our second ICE OUT Sing-In teaching songs of resistance to ICE with @middlechurch.bsky.social + @interfaithalliance.org right now - tune in from home on the livestream or come join us in person at Middle Church at 50 E. 7th Street in the East Village.

If we do not, resistance becomes compliance and fascism wins.
Liberation requires consistency and equal application, and we believe that equality is for everyone, including Palestinians. As artists and organizers living under the Trump regime, we must protect free speech in all its forms and stand up to systemic prejudice wherever we encounter it.
Their repudiation of a symbolic expression of solidarity exposes the uncomfortable truth that these organizations do not believe that all people are equally deserving of the human rights they purport to defend.
We believe in the mission of both organizations. However, we also believe that after 2 years of what hundreds of human rights groups have declared a genocide, Palestinian women and girls are in especially urgent need of the protections and advocacy these orgs advertise in their mission statements.
@reprorights.org asked us to remove all keffiyehs or not take the stage. We did not perform that night.
In the video above ⬆️, filmed in the street after leaving the Equality Now gala, we sang the song that their attendees never got to hear.
In the course of one week, two feminist organizations attempted to suppress The Resistance Revival Chorus’ support for Palestine at their fundraising galas. @equalitynow.bsky.social cut our set short because some members were wearing keffiyehs... (a thread 🧵)
Resistance Revival Chorus members turn, smiling and clapping, as Mahmoud Khalil joins them on stage.
A moment of joy when @resistrevchorus.bsky.social members turn to see Mahmoud Khalil joining them on stage at the end of the event.
Oh hey, @rhiannongiddens.bsky.social ! Our sister in song spotted us marching with @heatinitiative.bsky.social this morning in midtown NYC and hopped up + joined our protest demanding tech companies build better protections for kids into their technology outside the Apple store on iPhone launch day
Thank you to @nodepression.bsky.social for including our version of " #NoKings in the USA! " led by chorus member and Tony winner Shaina Taub on the streets of NYC on this special playlist nodepression.org/bonus-tracks...
"...that is neither fight nor flight but the careful, arduous pursuit of reconciliation and justice. It is about a revolution of love that is big enough to set both the oppressed and the oppressors free.” - Common Prayer: A Liturgy for Ordinary Radicals. #NoWarInIran #NoForeverWars
"But true peace does not exist until there is justice, restoration, forgiveness Peacemaking doesn’t mean passivity. It is the act of interrupting injustice without mirroring injustice, the act of disarming evil without destroying the evildoer, the act of finding a third way...
#NoMoreWars “Peace is not just about the absence of conflict; it’s also about the presence of justice. ... A counterfeit peace exists when people are pacified or distracted or so beat up and tired of fighting that all seems calm....
The People Have The Power. @resistrevchorus.bsky.social led by Jessi Olsen and Shaina Taub, singing "No Kings in the USA" by Ole! No Kings. #NoKingsNYC #NoKings

4) And while you usually can't tell the true effect of a protest until long after it's over, today's actions have already made a major impact where we most needed it right now: on people's morale. That in itself is a win.
3) A massive decentralized movement like this -- everywhere all at once, with everybody pitching in -- is extremely difficult for any regime, even the most autocratic, to derail. There are too many leaders, coordinating in too many different ways, for a movement like this to be easily neutralized.
