Organizer: Singing Resistance Tucson
Singing Resistance Tucson is meeting every Sunday from 4 – 5:30 pm at the Unitarian Church at 4831 E. 22nd St.
Come join us!
Singing Resistance, a musical grassroots collective launched in Minneapolis, gathers song leaders and singers to sing out in the face of fascism.
Why sing? For starters, singing immediately evokes an emotional response from the soul and just feels good in your body. When you sing in a group, it gives you the sense that your voice matters for the larger whole – and it does!
Singing Resistance is a mass movement of singers across the U.S.
It’s a proven (and fun) resistance strategy!
Peaceful resistance singing is just one strategy of many that should be employed in times of violent occupation, but it’s a crucial one that should not be overlooked.
We want your voice!

Organizer: Democracy Unites Us
Phineas and Mitch Anderson and Democracy Unites Us (DUU) are calling on all Tesla protesters, all of you who helped fill the streets back in the day and started it all, to protest once again in front of the Tesla dealership. Trump has clearly sided with the Russians. Musk, with Trump's approval, turned off Starshield that provided military intel to Ukraine. Trump delayed weapons shipments to Kiev. These traitorous actions cannot go unanswered. Bring signs that focus on the theme TRUMP AND MUSK ARE TRAITORS TO DEMOCRACY- VOTE THE REGIME OUT! See you there!!

We know we won’t change the world over night, but at the core of our actions, we aim to bring awareness to the transgressions that impact our communities.

Since then, GTAG has offered nonviolence/direct action trainings to Tucson activists and facilitated the formation of affinity groups to resist Trump’s authoritarian takeover attempts, as well as neighborhood Migra Watch groups to respond to ICE’s attempted kidnappings.

OUR DEMOCRACY IS AT A TIPPING POINT! Only a national shutdown will protect our elections and stop the takeover. Our goal is to shut down enough economic activity for enough days to get the oligarchs’ attention through “No Work! No school! No shopping. Daily protests and significant disruption.” The umbrella is an historic coalition with 600 organizational members in other cities: MayDayStrong.org is calling for such a shutdown if the 2026 midterm election is cancelled or invalidated. Join us!
