BLACK
LIVES
MATTER

Joyful Noise Recordings stands in solidarity with the protests against police brutality and racial injustice. BLACK LIVES MATTER, and we support those working to end racial oppression.  

We have made donations to the George Floyd Family Fund, Black Visions Collective, NAACP Legal Defense Fund, the National Bail Fund Network, Justice for Breonna Taylor, the Movement for Black Lives, and the ACLU of Indiana, and will continue to listen, to learn, to step up, and to take action.

This is only the beginning of our growth as a label towards becoming a more effective ally in the fight against racial oppression and police brutality. We encourage you to join us by donating, signing petitions, and calling or sending letters to your local representatives.

Below is a gathered list of resources and information on how you can help.
