All proceeds from the digital album are donated to
@lambdalegal , a civil rights organization that focuses on LGBTQ+ communities as well as people living with HIV/AIDS through impact litigation, societal education, and public policy work. 50% of the proceeds from the physical tape are donated to Lambda Legal, and 50% are given back to the label to cover overhead costs. Our volume one tshirt, designed by
@snack_thoughts , goes entirely back to the label, to make this a financially sustainable organizing effort.
On September 17th, join us in celebrating the release of this compilation at
@honeymooncoffeeshop in Ridgewood, Queens. Throughout the day we will host an artists flea market and in the early evening we’ll watch performances from Big Hug artists Allie, Bloomsday and h. pruz.
About a year ago I had the idea to start a compilation tape to bring friends and music community together for a cause that we all deeply care about. I never expected to receive the outpouring of support that I have. The songs on this tape are from some of my favorite artists making music, I am truly and deeply honored to be working with them. It’s amazing what a single thought, when acted on, can create.
Sending a Big Hug
