Starting today, fans of the Canadian punk band Propagandhi will get a chance to hear some new songs off their new album. Propagandhi will release “Supporting Caste” on March 10th, 2009. But now you can get 2 tracks if you donate to 3 charities, specifically chosen by the band.

Here’s more info:

Always looking for a way to get the gears of the world psyche turning, Propagandhi have launched a campaign in conjunction with three organizations whose missions are built around creating thoughtful awareness and social change. Starting February 9th, two songs from Propagandhi s forthcoming album Supporting Caste will be made available for download in exchange for a donation to Sea Sheppard Conservation Society, Partners in Health or Peta2. By visiting www.propagandhi.com/donate, users can choose the amount they wish to donate as well as to which organization their money will benefit. In exchange, users will receive instantaneous digital downloads of Supporting Caste and Human(e) Meat .

Sea Shepherd Conservation Society – Established in 1977, Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (SSCS) is an international non-profit, marine wildlife conservation organization. Our mission is to end the destruction of habitat and slaughter of wildlife in the world s oceans in order to conserve and protect ecosystems and species. SSCS uses innovative direct-action tactics to investigate, document, and take action when necessary to expose and confront illegal activities on the high seas. By safeguarding the biodiversity of our delicately-balanced ocean ecosystems, Sea Shepherd works to ensure their survival for future generations.

Partners In Health – Partners in Health provides a preferential option for the poor in health care. At its root, our mission is both medical and moral. It is based on solidarity, rather than charity alone. When our patients are ill and have no access to care, our team of health professionals, scholars, and activists will do whatever it takes to make them well just as we would do if a member of our own families, or we ourselves, were ill. We stand with our patients, some of the poorest and sickest victims of poverty and violence, in their struggle for equity and social justice.

Peta2 – peta2 is the youth division of People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals. The goal of peta2 is simple: arm young people with all the info, lit, advice, and, most importantly, stickers that they need to get active for animals on the web and in the streets. We hope to make youth aware that animal rights is one of the most important social justice issues of our time, and help them educate themselves about cruelty to animals in the factory-farming, clothing, entertainment, and experimentation industries, and decide for themselves whether or not they want to support these industries (most people decide that they don t).

100% of net money raised during this campaign will go directly to the aforementioned organizations.
