This Protest Musician Shares A Holiday Piece With A Plant-Based Twist

Leave a comment

The time of joy and goodwill is closing in and what better way to celebrate than with wonderful music. One musician, who calls herself Vegan Queen V, has shared a music video for these holidays that has a bit of a twist to it.

An animal rights activist to the core, Vegan Queen V spins the traditional Christmas song around a bit and asks her audience to kindly leave animals off their plates this time around.

“We need to share our kindness and compassion with others more than ever now. Why not extend that gift to our non-human brothers and sisters.”
– from this post

Life and this whole existence is about adapting and not being afraid of exploring new things. Why not try a vegan night this holiday season?

Denzel Curry Drops New Single Supporting A Community Protest Group

Leave a comment

Live From The Abyss is the latest single from US rapper Denzel Curry. The song is a slow paced, but hard hitting, political bomb of a track and until the end of October all net sales from the single will go directly to Dream Defenders, a community group that fights “for a world without prisons, policing, surveillance and punishment”.

Curry, a young artist who is very vocal about the state of affairs in his home country, holds nothing back on the track:

“I don’t fuck with my president
Tried to block all Mexicans
If he hear this message
Please don’t send swat to my residence”

Check out the song below.

“Rock n Roll For Blocking Coal” – Compilation Album Vs. Coal Mines And Corrupt Old Ways

Leave a comment

The title pretty much says it all. This new compilation album features musicians and poets who see activism as something intertwined with their music endeavors.

“The music and poetry on this album are from artists who don’t see their creative pursuits as separate from politics.”

Many of the album’s songs were recorded right in the protest pit, around the campfire and during the peaceful, direct action.

One of the main fights for Frontline Action On Coal, or FLAC, has been to block the building of the Carmichael Coal Mine in the Galilee Basin (Australia). #StopAdani is their focus as they believe this mine will harm the indigenous communities in the area.
