Contra-ICE benefit album to support immigrant rights organizations

The compilation album ‘Contra-ICE Vol. 1: ICE OUT’ is scheduled for release on October 2 through the non-profit Build Art Make Change. The project was inspired by the viral image of an abandoned paletero cart in Culver City, Los Angeles, following the detention of long-time street vendor Ambrocio ‘Enrique’ Lozano by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.

Featuring contributions from over 30 artists, including Tom Morello, Kathleen Hanna, and Fred Armisen, the album includes music, comedy, and spoken word. Proceeds from the record and a benefit concert in Los Angeles on October 3 will support immigrant rights organizations, specifically the National Day Laborer Organizing Network (NDLON) and Unión del Barrio.
