So I bought a rechargeable karaoke machine. One with large wattage and a wireless microphone.
It has a strap so you can wear it like a messenger bag. Thing is great for protests.
I use an old iPod with it.
And I let people use the mic to lead chants.
I bought it used on the eBay. Important thing is make sure it's at or near 30W. Otherwise it's not going to be very loud. I'll post a pic of mine but it's not made anymore and the newer models are 15W. Also it fits in a backpack. Barely but it does.
I got some of these songs from similar posts as yours. I try to keep variety on the playlist so everyone can enjoy the music.

Oh I forgot. Here is the speaker I take to protests.
yeah i really should buy a portable speaker because anti drag show protest had them and they were really loud
I checked and someone has this one on eBay. $45 with shipping..
This thing is hella loud.
I never can run it at full volume at protests.
Have yet to run out of battery either.
It does have a big rainbow led light on the front but you can turn it off to save power.
There are other brands too of course and there might be better options.
I do have a 15w anker speaker that's nice to pack to the beach or park or something but it can't get even half as loud as this green one does.
Plus the microphone sounds way better than those muddy megaphones. I Used it a lot more than I thought I would.
I felt like a news anchor. Every time I'd see someone trying to lead a chant or a speech id run over. Hand them the mic and hold up the speaker.
(Fyi The gray things on the mic are added. Protect it if it's dropped. They don't come with it)
