Dave Matthews Band Sending North Carolina Concert Proceeds to Equality Groups
Amid a long list of North Carolina concert cancellations, Dave Matthews Band are sticking to their date—and doing something great with the opportunity. The state's new law, formerly called HB2 (house bill 2), requires transgender individuals to use public restrooms matching the gender indicated on their birth certificates; HB2 has bred gig-skipping protest from Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam and Maroon 5 among many more.
In tandem with NC Needs You ("Don't Cancel Your Show," the logo entreats artists), DMB will donate a portion of the show's earnings to five equality-focused non-profits: the American Civil Liberties Union, Lambda Legal, ACLU of North Carolina, Equality NC and Time Out Youth.
