Here is a link to a document I put together collating UK & Irish based charities working to support Black lives. I'm adding charities as I come across them. Get in touch if you have any additions.

Newer things from Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, Bright Eyes, Bob Dylan, Ela Minus, Jamie XX, Laura Marling, Fiona Apple, Wesley Gonzalez, Sinead O'Brien and Tkay Maidza.
Older things from Manu Dibango, Nick Cave, Quando Quango, Townes Van Zandt, Grace Jones, John Prine, The Feelies, Frank Ocean, Prince, Perfume Genius, Drexciya, Le Tigre, Gabriel Garzón-Montan, Betty Wright, Bee Gees and Fela Kuti - there's loads of old stuff actually, some of which is new to me.
It's a long playlist, and this is after me removing a big chunk at the end, so shouldn't be long till Mix #23!
Bandcamp are supporting artists more than ever as this time. Check out their next Bandcamp Fridays here, including a special one on Juneteenth. The Quietus have done some recommendations related to that here, if you don't know The Quietus, check out these recent pieces as an introduction:
On the wealth and privilege issues of electronic music that takes in Brixton Market - here.
A suitable obituary for Genesis P-Orridge - here.
They always need support, so consider that option if you like these pieces.
Love to you all and #BlackLivesMatter
