At every moment of crisis in our nation's politics, artists have turned into activists and used their craft to grab a nation’s attention. How are artists responding to this political moment? While elected leaders give speeches to hundreds or thousands, artists can reach millions with their words and actions. We live in a time of diminished trust in our democracy, and artists who engage in politics can inspire people beyond the reach of traditional political actors. In contrast to previous times of unrest, today’s songs, videos, and performances travel around across the country — and around the world — a matter of hours, creating rare moments of unity in a fragmented society.
