Pride Month: Kesha - "I Need a Woman" Trailer

Happy 🌈

Today we celebrate the historic Supreme Court ruling that protects LGBTQ workers from discrimination under the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

We are in the sound business. Our work is to hear, listen, and amplify voices. We write to you, our friends, the PLUSHnyc Post community, with sadness, frustration, and outrage. We hear the voices of the Black Community, and share your pain and grief at the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Tony McDade, James Scurlock, and many others. We share your indignation at the racism—overt and systemic—that divides our country and denies equal opportunity and equal safety to all Americans. With you, we ask: how many black lives must be lost before we make change? How can a nation, founded on principles of equality for all, tolerate deep systemic inequities? How can we not protect an equal chance at life, liberty, freedom from fear, and the pursuit of happiness in safety for all Americans? We are a diverse people but can be united in our shared values. We know that dialogue, transparency, understanding, and appreciation are keys to changing the world. When we question the status quo, we learn—for it is only by learning and empathy that we change. We stand in solidarity with the movement, and are hoping the world spends this moment in history hearing, listening, and amplifying.

May you all be safe and well in this troubling time.
