Support Proof of Vaccination at Venues
Support Proof of Vaccination at Venues
Why this petition matters
As COVID cases continue to surge all across Texas, Austin musicians have come forward to request that we stand united in supporting:
1. Requirement of Proof of Vaccination at all Texas venues (that goes for staff, musicians AND fans.)
2. Alternately, if proof cannot be provided, attendees must wear a mask.
After consulting with many musicians that we serve, some of whom have very recently contracted COVID, the Board fo Austin Texas Musicians 501c4 nonprofit unanimously supports this decision. If cases continue to rise, we once again face a reality that no one is prepared to accept: the closure of our music venues, and the subsequent loss of employment for our entire community. With Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation benefits now over, this outcome would be absolutely devastating to our already-suffering musicians, event workers and venue staff.
Help us keep the doors open and ensure that we all stay safe by joining us in this cause. Let's show all venues across Texas that we support their decision to require these safety protocols so that we may have a chance at rebuilding our industry.
Love/Music/Action,
Pat Buchta
