A Fundraising Effort from Beacon Sound
According to the project description, the label highlights the long-standing role of artists in movements for justice.
For years, creative voices have helped build collective strength and push shared action forward.
They have also carried truth beyond borders, linking communities that might otherwise remain apart.
In moments of deep crisis, the label sees art as more than simple expression.
Creative work becomes a tool for survival and resistance.
It helps sustain organizing efforts and ensures that urgent struggles remain seen and heard.
The compilation grows out of that long tradition of artistic resistance.
It is further shaped by the reflections of Alami and Anastas.
Their words frame the music within the lived realities of occupation, violence, and ongoing resistance.
Gaza Is The Moral Compass also marks the first release in a planned series of fundraising compilations from Beacon Sound.
Each future installment will focus on supporting a different Palestinian organization through digital and cassette formats.
Seeds of Hope runs as a community-led education program rooted in local support. It focuses on students who have been displaced in Gaza.
Even while living in temporary camps, the program helps them continue learning and stay connected to their education.
Meanwhile, Reviving Gaza works on the ground as a grassroots initiative led by Palestinians themselves.
The group focuses on mutual aid and direct support.
Its efforts respond to the immediate needs of families across the city.
The compilation stands alongside several other releases from 2025 that also aim to raise funds for Palestinian causes.
Together, these projects form a wider movement of support.
They highlight a growing wave of solidarity spreading through the global music community.
