Help Save Crateism Record Store

Hi, my name is Fatima and I own a mostly online record store based in Los Angeles called Crateism. Occasionally, I do pop ups around the city, where I love connecting with people about vinyl and music.

As business grows, so does the need for help. Unfortunately, my record store is in danger of closing, as I can no longer run it by myself. Lack of funding, inventory and running day to day tasks such as shipping, customer service, etc are becoming a struggle. In addition, as a small, black-owned business, harassment is also on the rise, which has left me feeling discouraged.

The goal is to survive and continue to build a company that provides space both on and offline for music lovers to connect and share their love of records.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. If you can’t donate, consider purchasing records online at www.shopcrateism.com, donating via Cash App at $Crateism or Venmo @CRATEISM. You can also share the link to the fundraiser.

Appreciate your support!
