Run For Cover Records Launches ‘Rally For Change’ Initiative

In the wake of repeated harmful speech and actions by the Trump administration, Boston-based Run For Cover Records is announcing their commitment to fighting back with the Rally For Change initiative. Run For Cover Records has released this statement

We feel compelled to use the platform our community has afforded us to fight back, to protect the rights of marginalized people, raise awareness of injustice, and defend human rights in any way possible.

Over the past year, the label, which includes artists such as Pinegrove, Modern Baseball, Turnover, Tigers Jaw, Citizen and Basement, has raised $30,000 for organizations including Planned Parenthood, Finex House, and the ACLU. Today Run For Cover Records is has announced their commitment to fighting back with Rally For Change.

This year, Run For Cover Records is committing to donating 25 cents for each order from their webstore to a charitable organization. The label will choose a different organization to support every month and highlight it on their website along with information about what they do and how individuals can help. Each month they will also host an intimate show at the Run For Cover Records office in Boston. All proceeds from the show will be donated to a charity of the artist’s choosing and that charity will be highlighted on their website as well. The shows will be live streamed and viewers who are not able to attend in person will have the option to make donations to the selected charity at that time. The first three shows will be Christian Holden of The Hotelier in February, Evan Stephens Hall of Pinegrove in March and Sadie Dupuis of Speedy Ortiz and Sad13 in April. More details on the shows are coming soon.
