As artists currently participating in SXSW, we have recently become aware that the festival has ties to sponsors who are directly profiting from war/the arms trade.

We have set up this fund in order to donate to Médicins Sans Frontières, contributing to frontline aid in the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

We recognise and stand in solidarity with others involved with SXSW who have decided to take alternative action in protest. For artists and fans alike, we hope this crowd funder can make a positive contribution in a complex situation.

We stand in solidarity with all victims of brutal conflict.

Ceasefire now.
