  • Fair Trade Music

    Thanks for being friends with Fair Trade Music PDX! As you know, we're still gathering intelligence about how venues in town are treating their bands. So far, the story's not too good, but a few of them looks like they might be willing to man up and pay musicians some kind of guaranteed minimum wage - the kind that is the law for dishwashers, janitors, bartenders, and every other service worker in the club. Help us identify those venues! If you haven't already, please take a few minutes to complete our online survey. It’s completely anonymous, incredibly simple, and is essential to moving Fair Trade Music into the next level of venue implementation. The survey is at: http://fairtrademusicpdx.org/?q=node/275 It’s a cliché because it’s true – WE CAN’T DO THIS WITHOUT YOUR HELP! Thanks, and Solidarity, Fair Trade Music PDX
