“One, two, three, eyes on me,” yelled out a tall woman holding a Love your neighbors sign. “Let’s start with a warm up.” 

A crowd of about 45 people responded by singing, “zimma zimma zimma zee.” The singers were gathered in front of Makwa Coffee on Saturday, February 21 at 2:00 p.m. Their plan was to spend 60 minutes singing songs of resistance to show their solidarity to the surrounding immigrant and Native community.
