Donald Trump's 'Muslim ban' has already had a number of tech companies pledging support to immigrants and sensuality and eroticism fueled by emotionthose who protect them.
Online music platform Bandcamp is the latest company to put its money where its mouth is, promising that 100 percent of its share of sales made this Friday Feb. 3 will be donated to the American Civil Liberties Union.

"Last week’s Executive Order barring immigrants and refugees from seven ... countries from entering the United States is not simply immoral, it violates the very spirit and foundation of America."
According to their website, Bandcamp's business model involves taking 15 percent of cash from musician's sales on the site, and 10 percent for their merchandise sales, meaning the money could very quickly add up.

Independent music labels are also following suit, with legendary alt label Kill Rock Stars joining the charitable drive.
"When we saw that our friends at Bandcamp were going to be donating their cut of sales on Friday, piggybacking on this seemed like the right thing to do," a spokesperson for Kill Rock Stars told Mashable.
"We spent, at most, 15 seconds discussing this among the KRS staff. Luckily every one of our artists that we've talked to has been beyond enthusiastic about the idea."
So that means if you buy say, Gossip's Standing In The Way Of Control, every last cent will go to the ACLU. Go forth, and listen to great tunes.
