These are all songs that I love, that have some sort of political lean to them. Whether they discuss inequality, racism, the environment, or radicalized Republicans… the message is clear. We can do better, and we MUST do better.
Also, I want to say this to anyone that may take issue with the content, lyrics, or tone of these songs. Be aware, most of the artists in this playlist have come from working class backgrounds, just like most of us. While there may be no Village People or Frank Sinatra amongst these songs, these artists are our allies, in the fight for a fairer, kinder, better world.
As Against Me! points out in White People For Peace, sometimes it takes a hell of a lot more than protest songs to solve our biggest challenge. Its time to fight for democracy! VOTE!
