✊🏽 India’s current COVID crisis has sent painful shockwaves across the world, calling to attention the need for transnational community mobilization at an unprecedented scale. The pandemic has laid bare the abuse and neglect of the current fascist regime. Coupled with the unreliability of the state to fulfill even the most basic of needs, predatory systems of global capital have exacerbated the lack of treatment and prevention options for folks across the entire subcontinent.

🆘 In the current influx of resources to the region (many of which are channeled through NGOs tied to right-wing Hindutva organizations), the most marginalized folks are still being overlooked despite being disproportionately impacted by sudden lockdowns, medical inequity, and state violence.

☀️ As diasporic artists, we wanted to create an intervention to both harness our skills and contribute to direct financial aid on the subcontinent. This compilation amplifies the voices of South Asian musicians and poets with ties to so-called Boston (Wampanoag, Pawtucket, and Massachusett land), bringing together talents from across genres into one collaborative mutual aid mixtape. Like the sun-soaked petals of a marigold, we hope this project can be a beacon towards brighter days - ones we are actively pushing towards in solidarity and struggle.
