Tomorrow Eminem’s label will be joining Black Out Tuesday alongside with the music industry’s leading companies pledging to cease business activity on the day.
The move is being made as a statement of solidarity in response to the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. The official label social media account shared, and Marshall retweeted, the statement tagging it with #TheShowMustBePaused #BlackLivesMatter #BlackOutTuesday:
Shady Records will join in the observance of Black Out Tuesday on June 2, 2020.
On this day we will dedicate our time and efforts to help prevent social injustice and explore ways to assist in the fight against racial inequality.
The label also included information about a few organisations encouraging people to donate to the cause:
We will be closed on Black Out Tuesday. Join us in fighting for change. #TheShowMustBePaused #BlackLivesMatter #BlackOutTuesday pic.twitter.com/Gdy2YLXBTv
