Bandcamp is once again waiving its revenue share this Friday (June 5) to help out artists and labels affected by coronavirus lockdowns, and a number of labels and artists have announced plans to commit their earnings and share special releases in support of racial justice and change.
Below, you can find a partial list of artists and labels set to support local bail funds, Black Lives Matter chapters, anti-racist organizations and more. Participants include Jayda G, Paul Chin, TOPS, Dana Gavanski, Parallel Minds, Mint Records and Boiled Records, among many others.
Earlier this week, Bandcamp shared plans to donate 100 percent of proceeds from sales for a 24-hour period on June 19 to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, committing to doing the same on Juneteenth every year going forward.
At this time, Bandcamp will waive its revenue share to support artists affected by COVID-19 once more, on July 3, on purchases from midnight to midnight PT.
You can find Bandcamp's complete list of participating artists and labels here, along with an extensive volunteer-created spreadsheet of Black producers, artists and labels here, and a list of Canadian artists who have announced plans to donate here.
