Music That Moves Us: The Courage to Act Foundation Mixtape
Balancing midterms, co-ops, labs, and daily life can make it easy to forget to pause and take a break. The Courage to Act Foundation team has put together the C2AF Mixtape, featuring artists and songs that celebrate gender justice, advocacy, and serenity. This mixtape is meant to help you find a moment to slow down and relax during a busy season.
Music has always been a powerful way to connect and inspire change. Whether you’re studying, walking between classes, or taking a well-deserved break over Reading Week, we hope these songs help you tap into a space of calm and inspiration.
You can access our playlist through Spotify or YouTube.
Do you have a song you’d like to add to the playlist?

Looking for other ways to take a break?
Visit our Virtual Self-Care Room, a digital sanctuary designed with STEM professionals and students in mind. Inspired by the #MeToo Movement and the aesthetics of STEM-focused workspaces, this resource is more than a mental health checklist. It’s a quiet, intentional corner of the internet where you can pause, reflect, and reconnect.
