Do you love music? Do you love lifting up others and not succumbing to bigotry? Well, despite all the gunk news happening in the past week, there are tons of bands who are helping you out.
These artists/labels/whatnot are putting their music for sale and donating the proceeds to helpful charities that support issues that are threatened under Donald Trump's regime.
Hop Along are throwing it back to Frances Quinlan's first magical folkish release to generate funds for the ACLU.

Up-and-coming rock band Charly Bliss released a song about being catcalled. "I wrote this song to make me feel like I had some power in a situation where I felt totally powerless, and we’re releasing it for the same reason," they wrote. Buy it for $1! The proceeds go to Planned Parenthood.
In your dreams, Mr. Trump 💩 https://t.co/CT9M2AWQ6w

Fat Wreck Chords, which reps the likes of NOFX, Against Me!, Night Birds, Mean Jeans, Swingin’ Utters, Face to Face and Good Riddance, are bringing back the shirt they sold during George W. Bush's presidency, except this time with Donald Trump. The shirt goes on sale on Nov. 23 here.
“Proceeds from the sale of these shirts over the next four years will be donated," they write, "to organizations working to combat whatever bullshit policies this scumbag attempts to perpetrate on our country and the world.”

Also, for more places you can send your money, Jezebel compiled a list of pro-women, pro-immigrant, pro-Earth, anti-bigotry organizations that need your support. So donate! And, even better, do it in Mike Pence's name.
