SXSW Corporate fantasy: "SxSW music workers are medical students on vacation?" Fact: @SXSW festival pay-to-play = RACISM, blocking participation of gifted, low income Black artists & working class artists of all races. End music industry structural racism NOW! #FairPay at #SXSW

Tone deaf @SXSW response to @UMAW_ /@MusicWorkers#FairPay Campaign makes Marie Antoinette look woke! We're workers fighting for our economic survival & dignity:not moonlighting dilettantes. We generate 100’s of million for SXSW & City of #Austin & we're fed up w being exploited
United Musicians and Allied Workers@UMAW_3 Jul 2023
Here's @sxsw arguing they don't need to pay artists because we all love their wristbands: "We're trying to create a milieu, a community during the festival so that artists can really make a decision-- is this my career, or do I need to back to medical school or whatever it is?"

It would cost less than $300,000 to meet this very modest demands this year. @sxsw, you can do better.

@MorePerfectUS8 Feb 2023
SXSW's revenue is estimated at $142.3M. But bands are only paid $250, while solo artists get just $100. And that doesn't count the $55 application fee. Now, the Union of Musicians and Allied Workers is demanding that all artists get at least $750 to play the massive festival.

As you commemorate #MLKDay, please remember my mother, as well. She was the architect of the King Legacy and founder of @TheKingCenter, which she founded less than three months after Daddy was assassinated. Without #CorettaScottKing, there would be no MLK Day. #MLKDay2023
