Today the platform donates 100% of its share of sales.
Music retailer Bandcamp is hosting ti second annual Juneteenth fundraiser. The initiative sees the online platform donate 100% of its share of sales to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund in order to support ‘their ongoing efforts to promote racial justice through litigation, advocacy, and public education’.
‘This annual fundraiser is part of our larger, ongoing commitment to racial equity, and we’ll continue to promote diversity and opportunity through our mission to support artists, the products we develop, those we promote through the Bandcamp Daily and Bandcamp Radio, how we work together as a team, who and how we hire, and our relationships with organizations local to our Oakland space,’ said the brand in a public statement on its website.
Bandcamp’s Juneteenth fundraiser comes in ‘response to the murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, and the long-standing structural oppression, state-sanctioned violence, and daily racism faced by Black people and people of color, including many of our fellow employees and artists in the Bandcamp community.’
