SAVE THE RAVE
Oppose the New Rave Act (AB74)
Assemblywoman Fiona Ma proposed legislation yesterday to ban large electronic music events in California. In her own words “The introduction of AB 74 is the first step toward eliminating these dangerous events”. Read the full text of the proposed legislation at the end of this email.
Fiona Ma’s legislation is just one part of a larger agenda by the police and policy makers to shut down electronic music events in California. Our music and culture is being discriminated against and if we don’t stand up and fight, they will succeed.
Save The Rave is a group of electronic music supporters who are organizing to fight anti-electronic music policy through lobbying, protests and other peaceful actions.
Join our Facebook group so that we can communicate and work with you! We will need your help to fight back against these policies and show the State of California that we will NOT tolerate being discriminated against!!
