30 Days, 30 Songs Rocks the Vote Stefani Clark November 5, 2016 BlogsR.E.M. | photo via Facebook With Election Day quickly approaching, some of us are still figuring out if Clinton, Trump or any third-party candidate is the one. Although there’s a little over a week until it’s time to pick, some musicians already have very strong opinions on who shouldn’t be president. 30 Days, 30 Songs – now 30 Days, 42 Songs – is an independent website that releases one song per day starting October 10 until Election Day. This specific page is dedicated to speaking out against Trump’s campaign by releasing songs of protest by various artists. The site also supports Clinton, and the creators previously made 90 Days, 90 Reasons to motivate voters to elect Obama for a second term. On the site, there is a section to allow readers and listeners to become a registered voter. There are also “notes” to Bernie Sanders supporters, environmentalists, feminists who don’t support Clinton and more. The playlist “written and recorded by artists for a Trump-free America” is available on Spotify and the interactive page on 30days30songs.com.
