Overview
- Build Art Make Change released the compilation’s lead single on Wednesday, Aug. 12, a cover of DJ Snake and Justin Bieber’s “Let Me Love You” performed by Kathleen Hanna and Ad‑Rock and produced by Mario Caldato Jr.
- Contra‑ICE Vol. 1: ICE OUT is scheduled for release on Oct. 2 via SoundsGood Records and will be available digitally, on CD, and in limited and premium vinyl editions that are open for pre‑order.
- BAMC says proceeds will go to frontline immigrant‑rights groups, specifically the National Day Laborer Organizing Network and Unión del Barrio, and the release will be followed by a day of performances at La Cita in Los Angeles on Oct. 3.
- The 47‑track compilation was curated by BAMC founder Dali Colorado and assembles more than 30 contributors across music, comedy, and spoken word, including Tom Morello, Jello Biafra, Fred Armisen, Fishbone, Money Mark, and David J.
- Organizers present Contra‑ICE as a piece of cultural infrastructure meant to amplify immigrant voices, raise funds for community defense, and convert creative platforms into targeted organizing support that could change public discourse on ICE enforcement.
