A labor troubadour and song leader, he brings music to picket lines, rallies, and union meetings to build solidarity and sustain morale during struggle. Drawing on activist folk traditions, his songs connect workers&#8217; fights for justice, collective action, and power on the job with the threat of imperial violence across the entire world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He is regularly found on picket lines\u2014including the historic 2026 NYC nurses strike\u2014as well as at anti-war rallies, actions to abolish ICE, and other spaces where working people are fighting for a better future. His repertoire ranges from original songs to covers of politically inspired songwriters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ben&#8217;s work is rooted in the revolutionary social movements he&#8217;s part of: anti-imperialism, Palestine solidarity, labor, immigrant rights, and ecology.
