“This is the very, very rare benefit album where no one just sent in some crappy B-side,” Hanna said in a statement. “All the songs are fucking great and the performers really put their hearts into it. It’s a testament to Erica and Vice doing a phenomenal job bringing people together.”
Northeast Farmers of Color is an Indigenous and POC–led organization that acquires farmland and returns it to Indigenous nations. “The land that NEFOC acquires for farmers becomes collectively owned,” Erica Dawn Lyle explained. “Farms run by African Americans make up less than 2 percent of all of the nation’s farms. NEFOC is working to change that.”
Bikini Kill are also donating profit from today’s Bandcamp Friday sales to the National Network of Abortion Funds.
