Music for the Movement
We Won't Sleep
by Ari Afsar
Watch Hamilton star, artist, and activist Ari Afsar perform at the People’s Inauguration, created by Valarie Kaur. This song is from Ari’s original play Jeannette about the life of Jeannette Rankin, the first female congressperson to be elected into federal office.
Chardi Kala
by Sonny Singh
Sikh singer, songwriter, and musician Sonny Singh captures the essence of Chardi Kala with this uplifting song. The Sikh concept of ever-rising spirits, even in darkness, is a particular kind of joy. A joy that comes from laboring in revolutionary love. You can stream or download “Chardi Kala” here.
We Are The Ones – New Paradigm
by Morley
“We are the Ones, This is the time, Bringing the new, New Paradigm” Morley weaves the threads of jazz, soul and folk traditions into a singular tapestry, and thanks beloved freedom revolutionary love warriors worldwide for the inspiration for this song, including the books and visions of Valarie Kaur’s “See No Stranger”, Isabel Wilkerson’s “Caste” and Jacqueline Novogratz’s “Manifesto For A Moral Revolution.”

It is a Rhythm
