Greetings:

Let me point out that several of the people mentioned so far -- David Rovics, David Lippman, Anne Feeney, Fred Starner, Pat Humphries, Si Kahn, Joe Jencks, Pete Seeger -- are members of People's Music Network. That is no coincidence. PMN was founded more than 25 years ago as an organization of musicians and others involved in music who wish to promote progressive political ideas and values.

Among the many other members of PMN who could be on this list are, in no particular order, Charlie King, Heather Lev, Eric Levine, Bev Grant, Karen Brooks, Ben Silver, Sandy Opatow, Ben Tousley, Faith Petric, Peggy Seeger, Dean Stevens, Tom Nielson, Joel Landy, Jon Fromer, Francisco Herrera, Andy Buck, Rick Libert, Kristen Lems, Jamie Anderson, Joyce Katzberg, Kim and Reggie Harris, Ruth Pelham, Sarah Underhill, Karl Moore, Sharleen Leahy, Luci Murphy, Patricia Shih, Ted Warmbrand, Spook Handy, Dave Martin, Mary Nell Morgan, Jill Friedman, Sharon Abreu, Bob Blue, Jay Mankita, Marlene Feingold, Colleen Kattau, Paul Kaplan, Alison Frost, and Rande Harris. And those are just the ones I can recall from the top of my head. PMN has hundreds of members, perhaps a thousand or more, and nearly all of them perform topical-political songs of one sort or another.

Do a Google search for some of the names listed above, and you'll quickly see what a prolific and talented group of people they are.
