A music fest was charging white people double — but caved after the uproar

Early bird “POC” (person of color) tickets were $10, while “non POC” tickets were $20.

Tiny Jag has had a really, really long week.

Early bird “POC” tickets were $10, while “non POC” tickets were $20. After the early-bird deadline, prices would double for everyone, to $20 and $40, respectively. “Events often designed for marginalized Black and Brown communities can be easily co-opted by those with cultural, monetary, and class privileges. Our goal is to ensure that the youth of our communities can participate in the building of a just society; one that promotes EQUITY over EQUALITY. Non-POC individuals are encouraged to provide additional donations as acknowledgement of this historical inequity.

“I care not only because I was raised to care about things like this, but because I actually have the blood in me. … My own family members would be affected by this decision.”
