Our Story

After the 2016 election, reeling in confusion and malaise about what the future had in store for our country, a group of karaoke enthusiasts came together to console each other and grapple with feelings of powerlessness. While celebrating a local Friendsgiving dinner and having several glasses of wine, these political lefties, singing afficionados decided to deal with their political upset by channeling their energies for good: singing Christmas carols to raise money for Muslim Americans - a group that was being threatened by the incoming administration with a Travel Ban and other human rights injustices.

In this climate of uncertainty, when a lot of people didn't know what was in store for them in the coming years, we felt that honoring the spirit of the holidays and showing support for all the people in our community was important. Jersey City is an extremely diverse community and the choir is a way of displaying our support to people in the area that may have felt less accepted, or welcome, following the election. We welcome everyone and we want to make sure we show that to people. Co-opting Jefferson Sessions name in the process was just a fun little benefit. We sang our carols and healed our souls in the process and decided to keep singing.

Since then we have been selecting politicians in the administration to "roast" and raising funds for organizations that help disenfranchised and at-risk groups these politicians are working against through their legislation and executive orders.
