Best Coast Set Up Email Hotline for Those Feeling “Scared, Discouraged, Unsafe” Today

Best Coast have set up a new email hotline for those who “feel scared, discouraged, unsafe,” following Donald Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton in the presidential election. Frontwoman Bethany Cosentino wrote that she will “do [her] best to help” anybody who emails BestCoastHotline@gmail.com. Below, see Cosentino’s reactions to the election, which includes a YG tweet that she retweeted, as well as an Instagram post of a tarot card, where she writes: “I stand with all of my sisters and brothers today. Immigrants, POC, disabled, women (especially survivors of sexual abuse/assault), poor, single mothers and fathers, minorities, everyone.”

This past spring, Best Coast performed at a Bernie Sanders Rally in Wisconsin. In one of her tweets, Cosentino reiterated that she doesn’t “even like Hillary but HELLO- TRUMP IS EVIL.”

The music world, including Chance the Rapper, ANOHNI, Thom Yorke, Killer Mike, Janelle Monáe, and many others, have also offered their reactions to the election results.

If you feel scared, discouraged, unsafe, etc. today- I made this: bestcoasthotline@gmail.com. Please write me and I’ll do my best to help ❤️

This sucks because part of me is like “WHAT THE FUCK AMERICA” and the other part of me is like “yup, not surprised.”

Two truths: 1) America hates women and minorities, even if Hillary wins. 2) next BC album is gonna be ANGRY as fuck.
