Thank you to Luke (Luke Cartledge) and Jacobin (@jacobin) for this chance to chat through the past year. A union begins with open conversations with your co-workers and there's no better time to start than now. Solidarity forever! ✊

We wanted to share a timeline of the events this year. Bandcamp United was formed by a collective of music lovers, and we are so proud of what we accomplished. We dearly appreciate all the support of our community. Support artists, always. Solidarity forever.

More news soon!

📣We're back in bargaining with Epic Games over severance for laid off Bandcamp United workers. We're all charged up and ready to fight after checking out all your recs! As always, we truly appreciate the love the Bandcamp community has shown us all. ✊✊✊

We wanted to share additional layoff demographic information. These numbers include the whole staff at Bandcamp (including non-union eligible workers), but it is important context as we return to effects bargaining with Epic Games on 11/9.

Effects bargaining continues with Epic Games on Thursday (11/9), and we’re running out of songs for our “Let’s Get Pumped for Zoom Meetings with Lawyers” playlist– y’all got recs for us?

“If Bandcamp had an asset, yes, they were profitable and they had commodities. But they also had an asset and what that was was trust. What they had is that people loved it... I had personal relationships with actual human beings who worked at Bandcamp.” - Greg from @Deerhoof ✊
