We all follow the social media accounts of the people who make the music we listen to, put out the records we buy, and sell the tickets to the shows they book that we attend.

This is the time for those people to use their platform to publicly denounce sexism, racism, misogyny, and the behaviors that breed and perpetuate predators.

Help us by asking bands, label owners, venue owners, booking agents, and managers to #speakupforourscene.

Ask them in your own words, or copy and paste ours:

I've been hearing stories from survivors, but I haven't heard anything from you. Will you #speakupforourscene on behalf of sexual assault and rape victims/survivors by denouncing sexism, racism and misogyny, supporting the victims of these crimes, and agreeing to hold predators and perpetrators accountable?
