Meanings

1. A peaceful protest where people sing, often to obstruct the normal course of an event.
   • Although they're more fragmentary, the protest moments involving song still have Stamp excited: from ongoing sing-ins at courthouses to resist home foreclosures, to the night when Occupy was evicted from Zuccotti Park in November, when dozens of arrested activists sang "Stand By Me" and "With a Little Help From My Friends" in the halls of central booking. 2012 March 28, Karen Lowe, “How Communal Singing Disappeared From American Life”, in The Atlantic, archived from the original on 05 May 2012:
