There are many in our communities who have suffered as a direct result of the actions of ICE and the Trump administration in Minneapolis, Saint Paul, and across the state of Minnesota. Under Operation Metro Surge, families have been forced into fear and isolation. Parents look over their shoulders while dropping their children off at school. Workers are afraid to show up for their shifts. Neighbors are afraid to leave their homes for groceries. People—citizens and immigrants alike—have faced harassment, detention, and violence. But our communities do not face this alone. In solidarity with the organizers, neighbors, and mutual aid networks on the ground doing the hard work of protecting and caring for one another, we offer this compilation as a contribution to the struggle. All proceeds from this release will go directly to Smitten Kitten’s Rental Relief Fund, supporting people whose housing and livelihoods have been threatened during this crisis. Donate here: www.gofundme.com/f/smitten-kitten-x-nhn-rental-relief-fund If you donate directly, send us proof of your contribution and we will send you FREQUENCY RESPONSE, VOL. 1 for free. To remain transparent and accountable, we will publicly post donation receipts bi-weekly for the first month, and monthly thereafter. Music has always been a tool for resistance, solidarity, and collective power. As artists, we may not be able to stop injustice on our own—but together we can support those on the front lines, protect our communities, and refuse to stay silent. This compilation is our contribution to the global fight against fascism. Thank you to the artists who contributed their music in support of this project, and to those of you offering a donation to the cause.
