Our Vision
GrooveSafe is an initiative to stop unwanted touching and sexual assault at concerts. The mission of this nonprofit is to create a no tolerance environment with an emphasis on building a consent culture. Our initial goal at GrooveSafe is to be present in the live music scene across all genres. This movement brings awareness to sexual misconduct and teaches that a change in behavior starts with a recognition of the problem.
GrooveSafe focuses on educating bands, venues, and fans on tactics that aim to make the live music experience safer.
We do this by educating fans on appropriate interactions, encouraging people to speak up for themselves and their peers and providing training for bands and venues. Currently, as we emerge from a pandemic we will highlight the importance of respect for personal boundaries.
We will keep the conversation going and give everyone a voice and the power of choice.
Our goals include educating people on how to respond to assault, how to take action as an active bystander, and tips on staying safe. GrooveSafe offers support and resources to survivors. We also customize trainings for fans, bands and venues.
