John,

Thank you to everyone who shared songs, stories, and inspiration for our Soundtrack for Change — your submissions helped us build a playlist rooted in resilience, healing, and hope. This isn’t just a music list — it’s a reflection of the energy and heart of this community. This is background music to our organizing in 2026.

We’re excited to officially share two of the things you helped power:

• The Dream.Org Soundtrack for Change: built from your submissions and the songs that carried you through hard days or exciting wins
• Our 2026 Dream.Org Map (see below): this shows where our people across the country are building power and taking action together

Remember: you are never alone in this movement. All across the country, we are coming together with the same mission — to change laws and to change lives for the better. We’re still showing up, still believing in change, still finding ways to stay grounded and energized.

We’re grateful you shared a piece of what moves you. Seriously. Community culture is part of movement power — and you helped create it!

Keep listening. Keep organizing. Keep building. We’ll be right here with you.

In solidarity,
— Gabby Vice-Lamonica, Digital Engagement Manager at Dream.Org

P.S. For those of you who haven’t yet shared your favorite songs of empowerment, there is still time to add to our Soundtrack for Change playlist. Simply reply to this email with the YouTube links to your favorite song(s), and we will add them to the current list.
