NIVA (NATION INDEPENDENT VENUE ASSOCIATION) have lobbied to help pass two bills SAVE OUR STAGES" and "RESTART ACT" to U.S. congress.
The CORONA VIRUS (COVID19) pandemic has closed U.S, clubs and music venues as these music hotspots will be the last to re-open.
Many music venue employees, bartenders, bouncers have lost their jobs and without Federal funding 90% of these venues could close permanently.
FROM NIVA (NATION INDEPENDENT VENUE ASSOCIATION):
The #SaveOurStages
bill and the RESTART Act, if passed, would help preserve the music
ecosystem in our local communities. Your favorite independent venues
need your help RIGHT NOW! Help us survive, so we can once again thrive.
Go to saveourstages.com and let your legislators know how important independent venues, promoters, and festivals are to you.
Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-
