Protest Playlist
Music motivates! Get pumped to protest with a playlist of music that inspires you and makes you feel bold and determined. Curate a playlist of songs that help you feel hope when despair clouds your vision. Consciously incorporate music into your resilience and determination.

How to do it:
Do you have a “cleaning music” playlist? Create a resistance playlist! What music makes you feel like moving? Makes you feel brave or rebellious? Put it all on a playlist, hit shuffle, and listen while you’re working on your protest signs, a resistance persona, or just going about your day!
Some platforms will let you make shared playlists so you can learn new songs from friends – invite them to help you put together the playlist!
While you’re at it, consider dumping Spotify. There are many great reasons to ditch it including ICE advertising. Switch to Tidal , Qoboz , Bandcamp or other ethical options. (Dump Spotify)
If there are newer/lesser-known artists on your list, give them a boost by sharing their songs on social media, leaving reviews, or tipping/buying merch on their web site.
