Historical timeline

SONG’s and SONG Power history to build out our power-building arsenal:

IN 2007

SONG began building out and formalizing our membership structure.

IN 2007
IN 2010

SONG hired four part-time organizers to go “find our people” in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Alabama.

IN 2010
IN 2012

SONG began building out our direct action organizing campaign arm.

IN 2012
IN 2015

SONG launched our first Free From Fear Campaign in Durham, NC. Read more about our Free From Fear Campaigns here.

IN 2015
IN 2016

Before the election, SONG members, comrades and staff collectively created the message of “Dream, Vote, Organize: Our Lives Depend On It.” Across the South, members placed thousands of yard signs in their communities with this mandate. Many of the signs remain, slightly tattered but deeply neon and deeply queer. Read more about our “Dream, Vote, Organize” tactic here.

IN 2016
IN 2018

SONG rolled out Electoral Experiments in Birmingham, AL and Nashville, TN. Read more about the Electoral Experiments here.

IN 2018
IN 2020

In 2020, we are launching SONG Power, a new power-building and advocacy organization to build on and expand SONG’s organizing work

IN 2020

Many of our targets are elected. They can and must be held accountable. Our constituency (the people impacted by the issues we organized around — ending pre-trial detention and melting ICE) is huge, even though our organization may seem small. We must build our base.

Poverty can be its own form of voter suppression. So these organizers, with the group @songpowerc4, are using mutual aid to help get out the vote: by @jaisalnoor w/ @soljourno https://therealnews.com/you-cant-think-about-voting-if-youre-thinking-about-feeding-your-kids
