Save the Raves!
Thursday, December 23rd, 2010
I was recently informed of something that could very well effect the rave-culture of California, and potentially start a domino effect of action taken across the world. I would like to see massive events such as E.D.C. and the Hard Events to continue, so please take some time to read the following:

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 this and other anti-electronic music policy through lobbying, protests, media and whatever else is necessary.
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!
You can also sign up for the e-mail list and find out more information at: http://www.savetherave.org
For press inquires please e-mail: press@savetherave.org
Please take some time to join these groups so that we can stop this nonsense! (And please kids, let’s do our best not to get absurd at these events. Hard Halloween ’09 was a horribly organized event, but that didn’t mean everyone needed to start acting like morons and jumping off the balcony into the main stage).
