"My Morning Jacket have released a new album, Peacelands, which is out now via their Bandcamp. Frontman Jim James describes it as "an album of mostly unreleased, acoustic peaceful protest songs - some covers and some of my own" and includes songs by Lou Reed, Bob Dylan, Brian Wilson, Buck Owens and more. Proceeds will benefit " ACLU fighting for our safety and freedoms here at home, as well as Doctors Without Borders and International Rescue - organizations working hard to help heal the horrors of war and terror around the globe... working around the clock to help move us all towards 'Peacelands.'""
"Jim says, "We stand with the people of Minnesota and everywhere else affected by the horrors of ICE brutality and lack of human decency or transparency from this administration. There is room for everyone to be safe and free and at home in this vast world and we need to find a new path together to safe and humane immigration policy and reform rooted in peace and love... safety and equality... and new systems of fairness, freedom, and transparent justice for all.""
