Fuck it man, idk. Just put on some Grateful Dead. Put on some Aretha. Print some kind of zine. Paint a sign. Start a band. Write a manifesto. Bootleg a t-shirt. Hand out stickers. Throw a party. Keep it weird.
@ErickaSimone ahhh I don’t have Apple Music :(
@Daojoan as long as it’s not Spotify I’ll convert this whole list for you. Maybe even Spotify. Only for you. Might have to charge you though. lol.
@ErickaSimone I’m trying to buy my music now get away from streaming - but if you put the songs in a spreadsheet or something I can PayPal you!
This is probably the best anthology of apartheid era Freedom Songs which includes many original recordings from the time:

Apologies for the Amazon link. The disc is very hard to find, so if it is available snap it up.
@Daojoan ripped a txt version from Apple. Cleaning up. Will send pdf form. DMs. Gimme a bit.
For most music you can also use yt-dlp and extract the audio. If you feel guilty for pirating you can support the artists by listening to and talking about their music, if you like it, and buying digital albums from them directly if that money is really burning a hole in your pocket lol
@ErickaSimone @Daojoan dang its like my old highschool and college playlist, lotta good stuff there
Great list! If you are taking suggestions from other protest movements. Two favorites:

Feel like we will know we are saved once the music of this generation catches up to this shit storm.
