Allegra Krieger, Wendy Eisenberg (as part of Darlin’, their trio alongside Ryan Sawyer and Lester St. Louis), Agriculture’s Leah B. Levinson, the Soft Pink Truth, Lucy Liyou, Otracami, Ben Seretan, and many more have contributed songs to Just Cause Vol. 2, a new project benefitting the Immigrant Defense Project. The organization is dedicated to protecting and expanding the rights of all immigrants, with a focus on the intersections of the criminal and immigration systems. All proceeds from Just Cause Vol. 2, which is out now, will be directed to it.
Just Cause Vol. 1, which supported the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund, came out two years ago. About the new project, co-organizer Evan Welsh (Bayonet Records) said: “It’s humbling to see the incredible range of artists contributing to this album. Many of them are our friends, and the music here spans a wide spectrum of sounds, genres, and approaches. There’s something for everyone, and we hope listeners discover new favorites alongside familiar voices.”
