In-Community Issues

    • We’ve been instructed by Lauren Upshaw not to respond to their allegations against Psyril and the festival as we believe them to be false. This was concluded after carefully reviewing footage from the festival. 

    • ME are still planning on making a statement around consent and REALLY want to post the video from the festival of Psyril’s performance. I told them before they added us as cosigners on anything that we would need to review the statements. So far none have been sent our way. 

Board Treasurer

  • We need support by way of a treasurer and eventually a book keeper

  • Need to transition funds/account to a separate account and bank, maybe a local one, to make sure funds continue to stay separate from wtfemme productions and also accessible by the board. We would want an expenses acct, operations acct and savings acct if at all possible.
