Marching for Change: Street Bands in the US (2)

There’s an Emma Goldman saying that goes something like this: “If I can’t dance, I don’t want to be a part of your revolution!” In the past decade, more and more political marching bands have been invigorating social movements. In some cases, they’re the protest themselves. On this edition, we look at how musicians are stirring up public spaces; from the streets, to supermarkets to your Facebook feed. Listen here.

Truthout is a vital news source and a living history of political struggle. If you think our work is valuable, support us with a donation of any size.
