Field notes
The homepage separates a rotating featured song from the larger 42-entry index, giving each listed track an artist, country, cause, and year. Its categories range from Civil Rights and Revolution to Environment and LGBTQ+ Equality, while the stated chronology runs from 1939 through 2019. The project also identifies a Melbourne author, Andrew Clarke, and points readers toward a playlist, podcast, song-suggestion form, and a scheduled launch at Readings Hawthorn.
