“BlackOut Tuesday alternately known as #TheShowMustBePaused - seeks to redress the historic inequities of the music business by declaring Tuesday to be a one-day moratorium on business as usual as a means of identifying with protesters and considering how the music business can become more accountable to the black communities from which it profits.”

"Our mission is to hold the industry at large, including major corporations + their partners who benefit from the efforts, struggles and successes of Black people accountable. To that end, it is the obligation of these entities to protect and empower the Black communities that have made them disproportionately wealthy in ways that are measurable and transparent."  - NPR
