This, in combination with displacement & erasure has created a need for centralized spaces for us to connect and gather where black & brown people are centered, creating equity and balance where this is lacking. Event Overview the Problem: The cost of hosting free public community events can be substantial with minimal to no revenue when the intention is to pay fair rates to artist and organizers. In addition, city permitting through ACE (which is necessary to run this event) is expensive and inaccessible (approx $600-800/event) the Ask: We are requesting city co-sponsorship and assistance with (or waiving of) the ACE permitting fees in response to Resolution 23 the Council released earlier this year in Feb charging the City Manager to seek out and support events exactly like this so that it can become a legitimate, consistent staple held in a centrally-located public greenspace 13 Sunday Sessions ATX Event Overview Thank you! we do this with a heart for our community, thank you in advance for your support!
