That's not how advocacy works. Our voices get louder when there's more attention on the industry. I thought we covered this several dozens of pages back. As for the banning enablers discussion, that's not the only route. I am not a lawyer so I don't think my voice matters that much in that area anyway. On the advocacy and education side, there's many more options. Gen Z is smarter than most people give them credit for. They aren't putting up with the same stuff I did or the gen before me did. If we give them the tools and support to protect themselves, they will. I certainly would have. And then, we give them the leadership options and platforms to make the changes we so desperately needed when we marched. THAT'S what the activity should have always been about, but I fear that too many stories of abuse stem from BITD so its nostalgia is fading for me. What I experienced that was good in drum corps can be replicated. But only if spaces are truly carved out that center survivors and vulnerable people.

KVG_DC Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I always keep in mind the things that more than one survivor has told me, "We're watching. We're seeing if it's safe to share our story." "We're keeping tabs of who has our back and who lets our abusers slide by." "We want to know if its safe before we can share what happened and find some healing without having it all happen again." Silence doesn't serve that. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realize you're keeping the topic alive & page 1 by replying? I just think it's going to take pressure from the drum corps community to control the subject. And I think it's starting to take effect on the subject. Edited August 9, 2022 by keystone3ply cx 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scheherazadesghost Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 DCI and corps.... your community has been trying to tell you something for decades... When will you finally center the survivors of the abusers and enablers you continue to tolerate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
