Good morning!
I am here today with a little bit of shameless spouse promotion!
My husband founded and runs a Ska Music Entertainment and News site called Ska Punk Daily. Today in collaboration with Asian Man Records and Bad Time Records, Ska Punk Daily has released a SKA AGAINST RACISM Album! The album features previously unreleased music and new tracks from 28 well known Ska bands from across the globe! Proceeds from the double album (already sold out) and digital download (still available) will benefit the following organizations in their quest to promote equality, equity and anti-racism.
The Movement for Black Lives
The NAACP Legal Defense Fund
The Conscious Kid
The Alpha Institute
Black Girls Code
In 1998 Mike Park created the first Ska Against Racism tour; a multi-city initiative with the goal of educating young ska fans about the roots of the genre, while raising money and awareness for anti-racist organizations around the US. 22 years later, the issue of racism in America is as pervasive as ever... With anti-racist organizations needing more support than ever before, our goal is to unite the bands in our scene to revive the Ska Against Racism label in the form of a digital and physical compilation.

I am so impressed with my husband for reviving this idea, for getting the blessing of the movement’s founder Mike Park and for inviting all the bands to participate. In less than one hour this morning the compilation already raised over $20,000. If you are a fan of ska music, please consider ordering you own digital copy, both for the music and the worthy organizations being supported.
