Description

Co-Presented by Litquake

Every movement has a soundtrack. In this energizing, historically-rich conversation and concert, you’ll hear expert insights and personal stories about the resonance of protest music. Discover how these songs become the anthems that inspire resistance, build solidarity, and propel social change. 

Acclaimed artists Diana Gameros, The Sam Chase, and Marcus Shelby join host James Sullivan to perform and unpack classic and original protest songs and celebrate the Bay Area’s rich tradition of resistance, activism, and galvanizing music.

 


This event is co-presented as a part of Litquake’s 2026 San Francisco literary festival.
