Marshmello took to social media to share a screenshot of a $50,000 payment he made to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, a major legal organization who “seeks structural changes to expand democracy, eliminate disparities, and achieve racial justice in a society that fulfills the promise of equality for all Americans.”
“I’ve always remained neutral with my platform but just like you underneath this costume i am human and this is my tipping point…,” he tweeted. “Black culture and influence play a big part in the music i make. the systematic racism and injustices that the black community face on a daily basis is something that no white person can relate to or begin to understand.”
“Racism should never be tolerated and it is up to our generation to be the change especially in times when our government can’t unite us.”
