In honor of Juneteenth, Bandcamp is donating 100% of its share of sales to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund in the music platform’s mission to “support racial justice, equality, and change.” Bandcamp is donating any purchase made on its site today and every June 19th moving forward to commemorate the emancipation of African Americans from slavery in Texas on that date 1865.
“The recent killings of George Floyd, Tony McDade, Sean Reed, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and the ongoing state-sanctioned violence against black people in the US and around the world are horrific tragedies,” wrote Bandcamp co-founder Ethan Diamond in a static blog post. “We stand with those rightfully demanding justice, equality, and change, and people of color everywhere who live with racism every single day, including many of our fellow employees and artists and fans in the Bandcamp community.”
Below you’ll find a comprehensive list of artists and labels with special releases today, including those who are directing their share of proceeds to organizations fighting for racial and social equality.
