When we are successful not only will all fans feel welcome in the live music scene but the collective power of our community will be activated to advance racial equity in the world at large.

Part III, Line 29 | Explanation:| Engagement within the Jam Band Community: In 2023 PHRE in cooperation with Phish and the WaterWheel Foundation was present at over 32 live music events with over 10,000 attendees per show. At each of the 14 events the organizations volunteers educated fans on PHREs mission and history held space for dialogue around race within the live music scene and encouraged fans to support the organization that PHRE partnered with for that evening PHRE volunteers led the coordination of the training and event schedules to ensure that there was an active presence during each of the shows throughout the year. By doing so PHRE increased its visibility within the jam band community and helped further educate fans on the opportunity that we collectively have to create a more anti-racist scene. The organization plans to continue to scale and expand its impact in 2024 by prioritizing engagement amongst fans venues and bands in an effort to build an antiracist live music scene and promote liberation through racial equity. Part III, Line 30 | Explanation:| Advocacy to build antiracist live music spaces: Throughout 2023 PHRE continued to work with and deepen relationships with allied fan-initiated organizations and affinity groups in the jam band community such as the Mockingbird Foundation GrooveSafe Mike Side Dyke Side BrianRobert and AccessMe. PHRE organized a community meet-up event in September for all of these affinity groups. This inspired the groups to partner together further and in the fall of 2023 PHRE partnered with the Phish Studies Conference organizer to begin planning a panel event scheduled to take place in Spring 2024 about the State of Equity within the Phish Community. Part of PHREs mission is to make the jam band music scene safe and inclusive for people of all racial and ethnic backgrounds and this means ensuring that concert venues function as inclusive antiracist spaces. In 2023 PHRE pursued this aspect of the mission by continuing to foster relationships with jam band music venues and began the development of a checklist that venues could use to assess whether their current practices were anti-racist and how to make changes based on their findings. PHRE asked fans to complete a survey to learn more about their favorite venues and any venues that are currently prioritizing anti-racist practices within their protocols that they may be aware of. The venue checklist is a multi-year initiative and PHRE plans to roll this out to venues in 2024.
