Protestors and prayers around music for resistance

Songs of Change:
The Living Archive

Daily songs + essays building the soundtrack of resistance.

Every movement has its music.
The Songs of Change archive is where those tracks live — one by one, day by day, as part of a living history.
Each post pairs a song with a story: the artist, the moment, the movement it fueled, and why it still matters.
