Alongside the shine of their myriad of musical accomplishments lies the group’s long-standing passion for social justice. In fact, this is precisely the intersection in which Portugal. The Man thrives; throughout their career, the band has consistently exemplified how to deeply commit to both artistry and activism. This ultimately inspired them to launch the Pass The Mic Foundation in 2020, focused on universal issues related to human rights, community health, and the environment, with an emphasis on causes directly impacting Indigenous Peoples, including Alaska Native Health (providing the highest quality of health services for Alaska Native people) and Seeding Sovereignty (radicalizing and disrupting colonized spaces through land, body, food sovereignty work and more). The band is also committed to raising awareness and vital funds for the DHDDS community through the Frances Changed My Life campaign. Created in honor of Gourley’s daughter Frances, the campaign aims to support families affected by DHDDS by helping ease both the emotional and financial burdens that come with rare diseases. Over the past couple of years, the band has raised and donated over a million dollars across both charities.
