More than 200 artists and labels [joined Bandcamp](https://www.hypebot.com/bandcamp-pledges-fridays-profits-to-trans-gender-law-center-highlights-trans-and-gender-non-conformi/) on Friday in showing support of the trans and gender non-conforming community, by donating a share of every transaction made on the platform through midnight Pacific time that day to the Transgender Law Center.Total sales topped $700,000 on the direct to fan platform Friday. Calculated at thier average commission rate of 12%, Bandcamp's donation was about $84,000\. Additionally, more than 200 artists and labels also pledged a percentage of their sales Friday, putting the total contribution to the Transgender Law Center at more than $100,000\. "We want to thank everyone who participated in [today’s fundraiser for the Transgender Law Center,"](https://daily.bandcamp.com/2017/07/31/this-friday-stand-with-bandcamp-in-support-of-trans-rights/?ref=hypebot.com) the company wrote in a blog post. "Bandcamp’s community of artists, fans, and labels [once again](https://daily.bandcamp.com/2017/01/31/bandcamp-human-rights/?ref=hypebot.com) stood with us to enthusiastically voice a commitment to equal rights for all, and oppose the marginalization of the LGBT+ community." But there was some blow back: **"We did hear from a few individuals who suggested that we “stay neutral” and “just sell music.” To those people we say this: an attack against any marginalized community is an attack against all of us. We believe we have a moral obligation to oppose such attacks, and we will always happily embrace the amazing opportunity we have to rally others to do the same."**

Artists and labels that pledged their support included ANTI-, ATO, Merge, Kill Rock Stars, Sub Pop, Hyperdub, Polyvinyl, Car Seat Headrest, clipping., Frankie Cosmos, 12XU, Bella Union, Caribou, Deathwish, Exploding in Sound, Hardly Art and [hundreds more](https://daily.bandcamp.com/2017/08/03/labels-artists-join-us-in-donating-todays-profits-to-transgender-law-center/?ref=hypebot.com).
