Bon Iver Announce New Gender Equity Campaign '2 A Million'

The group will partner with nonprofits in each city on their upcoming tour, "in an effort to end gender inequality, domestic violence, and sexual abuse.”

​Next week Bon Iver​ will begin touring in support of their latest album 22, A Million​. ​​__To coincide with the tour, the band has announced a new gender equity campaign called "2 A Million," which aims to "raise support, awareness, and person-to-person connections in an effort to end gender inequality, domestic violence, and sexual abuse." As part of the campaign they'll be linking up with local nonprofit organisations in each of the cities they're performing in, and fans will be able to donate to or find out more about those organisations at the shows.
