the idea: Wide Open Heart
A bold note from mj: Could this be the start of something beautiful? Evanescence have already given so much through their music, and to communities along their tours. Can we build something together, that we can all get behind, keep being a Light in a sea of darkness?
This was lifted from a pitch to EV fans on Reddit that has gained support:
Okay, it doesn't exist yet but hear me out. Amy talked about it in The Guardian recently too - we have to be active in standing against fascism. Anyone with a heart is horrified at the violence of end stage capitalism and colonialism rn.
Bands like Metallica have started initiatives (see below*) to help communities thrive.
Would you follow a non-profit EV project like that?
It would extend beyond tours, as connective tissue between the music and irl sanctuaries. With a decade of kick starting enduring community projects and a bunch of lived experience too, I would love to kickstart/be part of something like this! ^_^ I think a project called "Wide Open Heart" would be a beautiful bridge from Amy's heart directly into real world, heart-led community healing.
I offer myself as tribute \m/
