Sister Helen's Justice Train Playlist

Get on board!

How do you keep your spirits up, how do you keep on keeping on in tough and challenging times?

One of the best ways I know is through music:

  • Music that reminds us what we’re struggling for.
  • Music that reminds us of why it’s worth the struggle.
  • Music that strengthens us when we need to be brave; that lifts up up when we’re feeling lost or helpless; that reminds us of our own power; that connects us through our common humanity.
  • Songs we can sing when we’re facing down injustices in the world.

Music has played an important role in the struggle for justice - for people and the earth - throughout the years and across the continents.

The Justice Train must keep rolling, so let’s share our music so we can keep rolling along with it. I want your suggestions! You’ll find a submission box below the playlist.
