"Which Side Are You On?"

"Which Side Are You On?" is a protest song originally written in 1931 during the American labor movement. It addresses workers' struggles for fair treatment, fair wages, and better working conditions, often against oppressive employers. The song encourages individuals to reflect on their allegiance—whether they stand with the workers fighting for justice or the interests resisting change. Its powerful message emphasizes solidarity, moral choice, and the importance of supporting social justice efforts. Over time, it has become an anthem for union movements and activism advocating for equality and workers' rights across various contexts.
