Today Bandcamp will donate their share of any purchase made in their catalogue to the ACLU. In addition to Bandcamp’s donations, many record labels/individual artists are donating their share to the cause of protecting constitutional rights. The only catch? Bandcamp’s massive catalog. I’m throwing up a few of my favorite purchases I’ve made through the platform as recommendations for where you should throw your money today. This isn’t the most obscure list of Bandcamp jewels, just spreading a few of my favorites to honor a very generous and amazing motion put forth by an important platform for independent music.

NOTE: I tried to include records from the list of sources donating 100% of profits, but I didn’t go wholly by that. If an album asks for you to pay what you want, obviously please put a dollar amount that will benefit the ACLU.

Here’s a list of artists affected by the immigration policies/Muslim ban, as compiled by Bandcamp staff: https://daily.bandcamp.com/2017/01/31/bandcamp-human-rights/

Enjoy your tunes and constitutional rights, folks. Make Bandcamp and the ACLU proud today, and don’t forget to donate to local refugee-settling organizations and the groups doing the hard work of organizing resistance.
