Racial injustice is a subject that we should not be turning away from. However, when the subject of racism comes up, we keep our mouths shut. Enough is enough! It is time for our voices to be heard and to speak up about the injustice around us.
Record labels: Hopeless Records and No Sleep Records show their support

We stand with all of you. Please teach those around you to be kind and loving and accepting of everyone. There is no place for racism here, it must be eradicated. Educate yourself on what racism is and what struggles people have gone through and continue to go through everyday.
