Belated thanks to all the Singers who joined our Sing‑Out! at the Alaska Junction last Sunday. We connected with passersby, shared songs with members of West Seattle Resist who genuinely appreciated our presence, and had a wonderful time singing “We Are Here” and “Give Peace a Chance” with sisters Sue and Sally. Moments like these remind us why we show up.
Thank you as well to everyone who joined the memorial protest for activist Marjorie Prince. The West Seattle Blog has a thoughtful write‑up here: https://westseattleblog.com/2026/06/west-seattle-scene-protesting-in-memory-of-marjorie/
A few takeaways:
- Singing and sign‑waving worked beautifully together, and the event had a warm, social energy — our songs weren’t the main feature, but they added heart and connection whenever conversation paused.
- Once again, “WAH” and “GPAC” were the songs that drew people in most strongly.
- Traffic noise was a challenge, but when the lights turned red, people were more inclined to listen and sing along.
- And a reminder: West Seattle Blog will often publish a story about a local event, especially when photos are available. Why not publicize YOUR community event, whether it's of SR or an ally?
Singers are warmly encouraged to join future sign‑waving "Mondays With Marjorie"; it's organized by Postcards 4 Democracy. Just show up Mondays, 3:00–4:00 pm at 35th and Edmunds. Bring your own signs (but, please, no vulgarity as was Marjorie’s request).
“One person can make a difference, and everyone should try.” — Marjorie Prince
