Vox Populi:

Legendary singer and activist Joan Baez discusses the essential role of music in movements, the need to keep our eyes on the prize — and to keep dancing.

Legendary singer and activist Joan Baez recently retired from touring, but she still sang to 100,000 people at the No Kings rally in San Francisco on Oct. 18, encouraging them to keep up their resistance.

I’ve known Joan for 35 years, and consider her one of the few well-known figures who has had a lifelong commitment to active nonviolence. I think she has been involved in more grassroots nonviolent movements than any other living person.

Joan has also been a prolific musician, releasing over 30 albums and traveling the world to perform for 60 years, often in service of those struggling for peace and justice. She published her bestselling autobiography “And a Voice to Sing With,” and was featured in an excellent PBS documentary, “Joan Baez: How Sweet the Sound.”
