Cooking Vinyl Joins The Stop Hate For Profit Campaign

Inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement, Cooking Vinyl is proud to join the Stop Hate for Profit campaign. We will be recommending to our artists not to advertise on Facebook and Instagram during the month of July, pending meaningful action from the social media giant, hitting pause on hate.

Our company and our artists stand in solidarity with the values of freedom, equality and justice. By not advertising on the platform during July, which has been known to turn a blind eye to voter repression and hate to Black users, we hope we can play our part in sending Facebook the powerful message that their profits will never be worth promoting hate, racism and violence.

Cooking Vinyl’s Head of Digital, Lewis Newson, says: “Tangible change to stop the spread of racism and hate online requires the social media giants to be held accountable for their actions. It was a simple decision for us to get involved in this campaign in whatever way possible.”

Cooking Vinyl is asking all Music Industry companies and bodies to consider supporting this campaign. Click here to support the campaign.

Thank you to Music Business Worldwide, Forbes and Billboard for helping us spread the message of our commitment to the wider industry.
