Live Lesson Masters has announced a new initiative called Social Justice Sunday. The fundraising event from the online music lesson platform will see all profits from lessons and events on Sunday, June 7th donated to Campaign Zero and the Pimento Relief Fund.
Campaign Zero is a non-profit organization that delivers research-based policy solutions to put an end to police brutality. Pimento Relief’s mission is to provide aid to black-owned businesses in Minnesota that have been targeted by white supremacists during protests spurred by the death of George Floyd at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer last month.
