One of the greatest things about being a non-profit, is getting to thank all the people who have donated their time, effort and creativity to us because they believe in what we do. First, we want to give MAD props to Matt for designing this site for us. We'd also like to extend a special thank you to 619 Productions, Goodghost Productions, Native State, Dawn Gor Gon Productions, SDRavers.com, FHP, sandiegounderground.com, Valerie and the Vibe Tribe, Ravelinks, Club Xanth, and all the rest of the promoters, dj's and dancers who make the San Diego rave and club community so incredible. PRESS RELEASE - May 13, 2003 “Keep the Beat, Move your Feet, Reduce the Heat!” In response to recent nightclub tragedies and the passage of the Illicit Drug Anti-Proliferation Act, youth health education group DanceSafe is launching a Club Safety Awareness program this week in three areas of the U.S.: the San Francisco Bay Area, San Diego and New York City. Under the slogan, “Keep the Beat, Move your Feet, Reduce the Heat!” this program will facilitate an open dialogue between club owners and staff and club patrons to address community health and safety issues, and identify practical solutions to those issues. San Diego DanceSafe is currently working hard with other chapters to help collaborate with promoters about this new program. If you are a local promoter and would like to discuss this program, or if you have any questions about it, please contact one of our members below. Contacts: ILLICIT DRUG ANTI-PROLIFERATION ACT signed into law - April 30, 2003 Named previously as the RAVE Act of 2002, this renamed legislation still carries the same dangers. Added as a section of the unrelated PROTECT Act (Amber Alert child abduction legislation), this legislation expands the "crack house statute," threatening innocent venue owners, event promoters, and the health and safety of their patrons. Despite the hundreds of thousands of outcries from concerned citizens, and without public notice, a hearing, or proper debate, this legislation was signed into law. We recieved enough support last year to help stop the RAVE Act in its tracks, now we need you again to help uphold our freedom of speech, right to peacefully assemble, and our right to dance!
