Listen to folk music!!!

In times like today where everything is so uncertain, folk music is a shockingly powerful and invigorating tool for resistance. Artists like Phil Ochs sing about unions, war, among other incredibly relevant topics in leftism today. We underestimate the power of music to bring us together and I think it's something we would all benefit from. I recommend "I don't want your millions mister," "It Isn't Nice," and "What are you Fighting For," just to name a few. Artists to look into would be Phil Ochs, Malvina Reynolds, and Peggy Seeger, but Woody Guthrie is also incredibly wonderful. Expand your palette!! I think the reason activists feel so burnt out today is because we don't have a sense of community or roots in our causes, and folk music, with how accessible and powerful as it is, is a great step in a better direction.
