Today, a whole lot of artists and labels are taking part in Bandcamp’s response to the latest discriminatory policy measure by the most incompetent and ill-suited administration in U.S. history. For the rest of the day, Bandcamp is donating 100% of its share of all purchases to the Transgender Law Center in reaction to Trump’s declaration that transgender troops are no longer welcome in the military (They were never really welcome in the first place). Will Toledo and Car Seat Headrest are taking part, releasing the exclusive demo “War Is Coming (If You Want It) [March Mix], with all proceeds going to TLC. Check it out below and get over to Bandcamp to purchase something for the cause!

This is the info from Bandcamp:

Bandcamp is a platform for artistic expression, and all manner of variance in experience and identity, including gender and sexuality, is welcome here. We support our LGBT+ users and staff, and we stand against any person or group that would see them further marginalized. This includes the current U.S. administration, and its recent capricious declaration that transgender troops will no longer be able to serve in the military. That this announcement was motivated in part to help fund the border wall exposes it as part of the administration’s cynical, discriminatory agenda.

In response, we will be donating 100% of our share of every sale today, August 4th (from midnight to midnight Pacific Time) to the Transgender Law Center, a nonprofit organization that works tirelessly to change law, policy, and culture for the more equitable. TLC does critical policy advocacy and litigation on multiple fronts, fights for healthcare for trans veterans, defends incarcerated trans people from abuse in prisons and detention centers, supports trans immigrants, and helps trans youth tell their stories and build communities.
