Coachella has launched GV Black, a new team committed to supporting the black community at the signature music festival from within.
Coachella shares in a statement:
We commit to continue to bring awareness of the violence against black bodies in America. The black employees at Goldenvoice have formed GV Black, a team to help us create initiatives to highlight the black experience at our organization, and expand representation of the black community at Coachella.
The statement continues:
We are only at the beginning, and we acknowledge that we must do better and hold ourselves accountable. We are ready for our continued learning, community building, and our un-doing and doing — all with your support.
Although Coachella can’t happen in 2020 — looking forward to 2021, the goal is that the black community will be better represented. This will hopefully have an impact on other Goldenvoice ventures as well, including Stagecoach.
