RAVE ACT PROTEST||WASHINGTON, DC||SEPT 6TH, 2003

The US Government has declared a War on Music. We are the target of busts, arrests, harassment and intimidation, all with the ultimate goal of silencing the music we love. The recently passed RAVE Act threatens to scare club owners and promoters into shutting down events nationwide for fear of imprisonment of up to 20 years and/or fines of $500,000. Even harsher laws sit in Congress right now.
