Coachella Launches ‘GV Black’ to Expand Representation of the Black Community

Coachella has launched GV Black, a new team committed to supporting the black community at the signature music festival from within.

Coachella shares in a statement:

We commit to continue to bring awareness of the violence against black bodies in America. The black employees at Goldenvoice have formed GV Black, a team to help us create initiatives to highlight the black experience at our organization, and expand representation of the black community at Coachella.

The statement continues:

We are only at the beginning, and we acknowledge that we must do better and hold ourselves accountable. We are ready for our continued learning, community building, and our un-doing and doing — all with your support.

Although Coachella can’t happen in 2020 — looking forward to 2021, the goal is that the black community will be better represented.This will hopefully have an impact on other Goldenvoice ventures as well, including Stagecoach.
