These have been anxious times for everyone, especially those most vulnerable and living on the margins. Record Grouch wants to lend some support. As a small shop doing business in the northernmost part of Brooklyn, we are reminded daily why community matters and how the local impacts the everyday. We couldn’t have made it through the pandemic shutdown without our local community’s support.
This fundraiser aims to look beyond our immediate neighborhood while offering a reminder of how all concerns remain local and inter-connected. Members of our community have stepped up to offer their work to raise money for specific regional causes. These local causes and organizations reveal how it is our responsibility to try to make this a better world, as one place and region leans on the other.
We will offer five raffles involving the following artists, musicians and writers, all of whom share a history and connection to our small shop: Yo La Tengo; David Grubbs and Susan Howe; Lance Scott Walker (author of Houston Rap Tapes: An Oral History of Bayou City Hip-Hop and a forthcoming book on DJ Screw); our very own Rich Jacobs (artist, archivist and curator extraordinaire); and the pride of our neighborhood, Brooklyn’s Sunwatchers. We are thrilled that these folks donated their talent and work to our fundraiser.
100% of all money raised will be divided equally among five regional organizations, groups that also inspire us with their hard work and mission: Houston Food Bank (TX); Louisville Community Bail Fund (KY); Southern Workers Assembly (NC); Creative Growth (CA); International Neighbors (VA).
