Part III, Line 29 | Explanation:| Engagement with the Jam Band Community: At each of the 32 events PHRE had a presence at during 2022 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 Prior to the events PHRE led a training for volunteers on PHREs mission and history how to be supportive to fans within the venue and how to handle situations that may arise while engaging fans. This training has set the foundation for how we train and prepare fans to be part of PHREs programming efforts. 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 2023 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 2022 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 also partnered with an organization of artists Poster Nutbags within the live music scene who led a fundraising effort to support our programmatic initiatives. 276 artists raised over $40,000 throughout 2022 illuminating the power of fan mobilization within the live music 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 2022 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. The venue checklist is a multi-year initiative and PHRE plans to roll this out to venues in 2024.
