Ceasefire projects for MSF
Over the past year, as the horror in Gaza unfolded, Fire Sale and retail partners Bandcamp and Above Board raised a gross total of £422,210.16 in support of the astounding and humbling work of Médecins Sans Frontières* (MSF) - also known as Doctors Without Borders - a non-governmental organisation providing vital medical assistance and lifesaving care to Palestinian civilians, while themselves being targeted and killed by the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) in both Gaza and the West Bank.
We’re incredibly grateful to all artists who collaborated with us in 2024 - Fontaines DC, Young Fathers, Massive Attack, Cold War Steve, Ella Baron, Frank Riot, Jeremy Deller, KennardPhillips, Mode 2 and Wefail.
The Ceasefire EP, limited edition prints and Fire Sale Field Studio proved to be incredibly popular activations to express solidarity, compassion and respect for both the Palestinian people and those risking their lives to care for them.
After the unavoidable deductions for production, distribution and taxes, we proudly donated the entire £277,150.47 profit to MSF UK.
As always, we’ve published a full breakdown of the donation below for transparency.
Finally, a massive thank you to everyone who has supported these projects with your time, generosity, patience and solidarity. None of this would be possible without you.
