Freedom Beat is a globally distributed record label, website, and meeting place for artists, activists, filmmakers, journalists, researchers, educators, and listeners interested in music of nonviolent resistance, and the role music plays in nonviolent conflict.  Our mission is to provide resources, distribution, and awareness of the artists creating music of nonviolent resistance, and to the causes they are inspired by, or a part of.

Freedom Beat will be releasing periodic music of resistance compilations, albums, and singles distributed through all major digital retailers in every region of the world, in addition to utilizing methods of distribution in regions without digital access.

The Freedom Beat website/blog will track emerging stories about music of nonviolent resistance in the media, artist profiles & features, the history of music of nonviolent resistance, artist’s streaming music & video, and provide a curriculum for educators.  We will also provide current and aspiring artists with technical resources on recording techniques, music hardware & software, distribution, marketing, and a social network made up of fellow music of nonviolent resistance artists.

The development of Freedom Beat was supported by the International Center on Nonviolent Conflict, an independent nonprofit organization that helps the world to learn about nonviolent action and civil resistance.
