INFO ON FAIR TRADE MUSIC
\nFair Trade Music
\nFair Trade Music\u00a0is a\u00a0grassroots campaign raising standards for freelance
\nmusicians through organizing, collective action and education. City-by-city
\nwe are building an organization\u00a0of musicians, community leaders and
\nfans to support Fair Trade Music principles including our right to:
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Negotiate Fair Contracts
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Create Equitable Business Relationships
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Establish Enforceable Contract Standards

\nFar too many of us often \u201cpay to play\u201d or play for \u201czero minus expenses\u201d
\nwith venues paying nothing and musicians covering all the costs. Pay often
\ndepends on the \u201ctake\u201d at the door or proceeds from\u00a0the bar, but many clubs
\ndon\u2019t provide documentation on income or expenses. Without enforceable
\ncontracts, transparency or accountability\u2014musicians lose out. Through Fair
\nTrade Music, we organize and win.

\nSeattle\u2019s Fair Trade Music Campaign is an example of what happens when
\nmusicians join together to raise the standard of living for all musicians in
\ntheir community. In the past year, over 25 Seattle area clubs signed a pledge
\nto abide by Fair Trade Music principles. Musician-loading zones were established
\nin the area. The City of Seattle even proclaimed May 20th as Fair Trade Music
\nDay in support of a living wage for musicians.
