We are a group of singers, songwriters, and community leaders in Phoenixville, PA who are passionate about using our voices to strengthen peaceful protests and demonstrations with songs that are accessible to all. We partner with the Phoenixville Liberation Center, Diversity In Action, and local immigrant groups to identify and address our community’s needs in the wake of ongoing ICE raids. 

  • Protesters and singers gather on Bridge Street in Phoenixville, Pa, on a cold winter evening.
  • Singers and prostesters gather in the evening in Phoenixville. A "No Están Solos" poster is visually prominent.
  • Singers and protesters gather outside the Borough Phoenixville on a cold, dark winter evening.

We create, learn, and teach songs that give voice to our grief, rage, solidarity, and commitment to a peaceful and equitable world for all. As part of our actions, we raise emergency relief funds for families who have had loved ones disappeared by masked federal agents.

Because our mission and principles align with the Singing Resistance group that is fighting a violent fascist takeover in Minnesota, whose work inspires us and whose songs we add to our own, we honor them by joining their movement and using Singing Resistance Phoenixville as our name. 

Come sing with us at one of our upcoming events!

How Does Singing Resistance Phoenixville’s Fundraising Work?

We work closely with local organizations that support immigrants. The money we raise during each action is directed to an emergency fund supporting families whose loved ones were kidnapped, prioritizing those who have lost a sole caregiver or breadwinner, whose financial needs are ongoing and urgent. In each of our actions, we consult local leaders and advocates for immigrant communities to determine what will be most supportive, meaningful, and safe for those who are most impacted by state violence. We strive to balance transparency in our fundraising with protecting the privacy of groups at risk of being targeted.

More About Our Actions

Our leadership team plans the details of each action with utmost care, including song lists and locations. Our actions are intended to bring awareness to the violence enacted on our vulnerable communities, and to gather material support for those communities. We do not seek to escalate situations or promote violence in any way. We follow in a long tradition of using songs that speak to the times, in service of strengthening and amplifying peaceful protest.”
