They’re trying to steer away from a steady stream of tribute acts and Grateful Dead-inspired jam bands that draw crowds and make money but limit the variety of music that Sweetwater feels that it’s obligated to offer its audiences. “As a nonprofit, we have to have something for the whole community,” Hoppe said. “We can’t just be a jam band venue.

When a victim is attacked because of their real or perceived race/ethnicity, religion, ancestry, national origin, disability, gender, or sexual orientation, the message is, “People like you are not welcome here and are not safe here. ”Even acts of vandalism or verbal threats can send powerful shock waves of fear to all who recognize they could have been a target. Fear and isolation caused by hate incidents degrade the quality of life for people in the targeted group and drive decisions about where to live and work, and how much to participate in the community.
