Live music is a place for fun, community, and open expression. Sexual harassment and assault don't belong.
We believe in music’s power to create change.
We are modeling the culture we want by fighting against sexual violence at shows and festivals.
 
Our #HereForTheMusic campaign works to build true safety with all parties who come together to create a show or festival: artists, promoters, fans, venue staff, touring professionals, media professionals, and more.

We have worked with 85+ artists, venues, and festivals to date and trained 3000+ people. Join us?
