SOS MÉDITERRANÉE
The organization pursues three missions: to save lives, to protect survivors, and to bear witness to the situation at sea. Its foundations are based on fundamental human rights, maritime law, and duty to rescue, beyond international and national regulatory policies.
SOS Méditerranée has organized rescue operations by chartering the Aquarius (until December 2018) and Ocean Viking vessels (from 2019).
In the words of Dub inc
We became aware of the existence of
SOS Méditerranée back in 2017. The courage and urgency of their actions
moved and impressed us tremendously, so we met them at their premises
in Marseille to better understand and testify to their involvement in
the field.
The idea of a collective tune bringing together
part of the French and European reggae scene allowed us to help raise
awareness of the association, which still needs to communicate about its
work and its role in the ongoing humanitarian crisis to wider
audiences. All the artists have accepted that the profits generated by
the song go entirely to SOS Méditerranée, which has allowed us to
perpetuate our relationship and our support over the long term.
In 2019, we also organized a support concert with Jahneration at La Vapeur in Dijon, and we regularly invite SOS Méditerranée during our tours to allow them to communicate with our public.
Since
2019, we have donated €40,000 to SOS Méditerranée thanks to the benefit
concert in Dijon and especially thanks to the collective song "À travers
les vagues". The video alone has generated €29,500 in revenue, donated
to the association since its release in February 2019.
