About this episode
Music has always been part of resistance — from the Underground Railroad to the civil rights movement to the digital platforms we use today.In this entry of Resistance Needs a Plan, I talk about why people in power try to control culture, why music has always been treated as a threat, and why sharing the right songs can help build something larger than any single voice.This post ends with an open invitation to artists who make music that challenges power or speaks to this moment. If that’s you, leave a comment. I’m opening space for artists on upcoming TikTok and YouTube livestreams.Once a week, share a protest song. Tag the artist. Let the circle grow.If the TikTok and YouTube lives are a success, then I’m going to do my first Substack live with two of the artists who play on the lives.Billy Simons Jr. provided the background music for this video.
