Notes
These songs speak to some reasons for the 1000s of people supporting the #occupywallstreet movement (Sept 17 2011). These grievances we're fighting against have only recently resulted in action by people of this country, there has long been a culture of change&advocacy in music&art. May these songs fuel your interest & spark curiosity. Join the ranks of people around the world that are standing up for social+economic justice! You're part of the 99%, educate yourself & become a part of history!

Hello, I wanted to suggest a song for your playlist, by Alt-Americana artist, Zak Smith.
Zak released “Have You Looked Outside”, in response to the endless cycle of human and civil rights injustices happening in this country at the moment. You can view the music video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbHUQ2WBXb8 and I will send you the mp3 if you decided to use.
Zak was heavily involved in the Occupy Wall Street movement and urges us (Americans) to resist apathy and fight for the kind of change that improves human lives. Using this video as a vehicle, Zak seeks to put an end to corporate greed and corruption, racism, discrimination based on sexual orientation, bigotry that jeopardizes immigration reform, police brutality, etc.
Additionally, you can check out Zak’s op-ed on the subject on Huffington Post Politics at http://www.huffingtonpost.com/zak-smith/what-not-to-be-apathetic-_b_7181830.html
Let me know if you are interested in playing the song.
