Buoyed by the success of GMTATCOAD Volume 1 — which raised a quarter-million dollars in one day to support Fair Fight and Color of Change — organizers author Dave Eggers, artist managers Jordan Kurland and Darius Zelkha (Brilliant Corners Artist Management), Christian Stavros (Little Operation Management) and head of Barsuk Records Josh Rosenfeld were quick to put together another collection to raise money for Voting Rights Lab. Eggers spoke about GMTATCOAD Volume 2 in a statement:
When over $250,000 was raised for the first compilation — in one day — we were floored and it spurred us to do another. We thought we’d get twenty musicians, tops, for this second one, but in about ten days, 77 bands and singers came through. It was a flood. Every day, the urgency of this election becomes clearer, so we’re trying to send as much money into voter access as we can. The compilation is a bit of concentrated hope.
“We could have included 200 artists, that’s how united the music community is around the fight for voting right,” Kurland added. “We are so inspired to have this incredible collection of artists in an effort to raise money in support of the important work that Voting Rights Lab is doing.”
