"Good Music to Avert the Collapse of American Democracy"

David Pescovitz 8:20 am Thu Sep 3, 2020

My friends in the music industry have produced a fantastic compilation of previously unreleased recordings by the likes of REM, Matt Berninger, Beverly Glenn-Copeland, Phoebe Bridgers, Death Cab for Cutie, and many other artists as a fundraiser for Fair Fight, an organization dedicated to voting rights. Aptly titled "Good Music to Avert the Collapse of American Democracy," this killer compilation will be on sale at Bandcamp tomorrow only. Get some. From GoodMusic2020:

100% of the net proceeds from the album’s sales will go to Fair Fight, a voters rights organization that promotes fair elections around the country through voter education, election reform, and combating voter suppression.
The cover art was created by acclaimed artist Shepard Fairey. A limited-edition signed poster of the artwork will also be sold on Friday via Bandcamp, with net proceeds going to the nation's largest online racial justice organization, Color of Change.
Executive Producers: Dave Eggers, Jordan Kurland, Josh Rosenfeld, Christian Stavros, Darius Zelkh
