If you've attended even a few events, you know that they are often exclusive affairs, prioritizing the majority and those in power. But what about everyone else? This manual trains promoters and venues to create safety of all kinds to be inclusive. Any music, art, or community space theoretically wants to make the world a better place. And now they can learn how!
