Find your anthem this summer with EEP’s playlists.
EEP’s stories and characters inspire hope and courage to stand up for what’s right and fair for all people – not just a select few. It’s a message that’s more important now than ever, with so many of our human rights at risk in the U.S. One thing we always come back to in our storytelling is that art, stories, and music play an important part in day-to-day life as well as action – it keeps us moving, gives us a break when we need it to recharge, and helps us to see what’s possible. This summer, here’s what’s motivating us to advocate for what we believe in, and fight back against oppression, fear, and hate.
