On May Day, Crooks & Liars released a list of 23 protest songs soundtracking the resistance against ICE and the Trump administration. The response was extraordinary, with nearly 8,000 likes, 3,500 saves and 2,000 shares on Instagram alone, as of this writing. Nothing was more inspiring, though, than the passion with which about 400 people proposed additional artists and songs. We couldn’t ignore it.
So, I went back to the streaming sites, listening to tracks and albums by more than 50 artists not included in our original list. This is the result: 27 more anti-ICE anthems breaking the internet — bringing our total to 50, across genres as diverse as folk, pop, punk, country, reggae and rap.
Bring these to your nearest protest!
