FROM  NORTHWEST TERROR FEST:

Friends!
As you’ve all been made aware, the time to remain silent has come and gone. While many efforts have been made to uplift black and brown voices in our community over our tenure, it’s time now to be VERY specific.
We at NWTF stand with our black and brown brothers and sisters in this uprising against the corrupt and abusive institutions in this country, including the racism and corruption that infects American police forces. We will continue to find ways to support this movement as the situation evolves, but for now we will be donating ALL proceeds (not just profit) from merchandise sales over the next week (6/2/20-6/8/20) to Black Lives Matter Seattle-King County Freedom Fund.
RIP George Floyd and the countless others, we will say your names.

#TheShowMustBePaused

“So proud of your country, nationalistic pride
So proud of your race, prejudiced mind
If you so love your country why can't you see
It's made up of all people, no racial boundaries

We're dedicated to stop your ignorance
Band together to bring you to your knees
For your actions we have no tolerance
Your blind hate, prejudice, a disease

Beating up kids who don't share your views
Pull that shit with us and you'll lose
We may lose some battles
But we'll win this war
We may have sat complacent once, no more”

Brotherhood - “No Tolerance”
 
 
FROM MACHINE HEAD: 
 
 
Tomorrow June 2 we stand with the rest of the music industry in dedicating ourselves to standing up for justice and speaking out against racism and the racist policies that exist in this country🖤🖤
