Rapid Response Choir Actions
Each chapter is prepared to show up to be heard for the communities we’re trying to protect. Sometimes this will be scheduled events, but we are joining with immigration action networks to show up to ICE raids targeting otherwise innocent neighbors.
Rapid Response Choir chapters will be ready to assemble on short notice at a school, church, community or place of business, and be ready to sing for thirty minutes or longer if need be.
We will not interfere with law enforcement, but we will remind everyone of their rights under the Constitution.
See local chapter pages for upcoming planned actions.
