BIZ OFFERS SUPPORT TO THE BLACK COMMUNITY
From legendary labels like Motown and Columbia to label CEOs, Performing Rights Orgs and artists, many in the music biz are speaking out to support the black community in the wake of police violence and tumultuous protests in multiple U.S. cities. Among the figures that have declared their solidarity with the community and with victims of violence are Aaron Bay-Schuck, Ron Perry, Sylvia Rhone, Michelle Jubelirer, Jenifer Mallory, Joie Manda, Taylor Swift (who had strong words for President Trump's violence-inciting tweets), Billie Eilish, Halsey, Diddy, Scooter Braun, UMG, WMG, Def Jam, Interscope, Pulse, Spotify and more.
Offer support to protesters in Minnesota with a donation to the Minnesota Freedom Fund.

I am horrified by the violence and injustice that happens against the Black community again and again. Spotify will not sit silent. https://t.co/fykgzmUTng

After stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency, you have the nerve to feign moral superiority before threatening violence? ‘When the looting starts the shooting starts’??? We will vote you out in November. @realdonaldtrump

My heart breaks for George Floyd, his family and for the people in Minneapolis. Murder is murder. Cops are also citizens, the same rules should apply to them. This is absolutely horrific and if the mayor and DA do not step up it sets a poor example for this entire country. pic.twitter.com/WA5VJGGhE2

It’s hard to know what to say because I’ve been dealing with racism my entire life. That said, it’s rearing its ugly head right now & by God it’s time to deal with it once & for all. My team & I stand for justice. Convos will be had & action will be taken. #THESHOWMUSTBEPAUSED pic.twitter.com/0pehqgGN6o
