At EVERYSEEKER we are actively committed to prioritizing applications from communities that are often vastly underrepresented within the creative sector/artistic spaces. We aim to recognize and disrupt systemic forms of oppression, which include but are not limited to: racism, anti-Black racism, anti-Indigenous racism, ableism, heterosexism, cissexism/transmisogyny, tokenism, ageism, economic violence, sexism. It is our hope that through community-centric methods of accountability, repair, care-based reflection and education, we can grow into an organization fundamentally invested in relationships of mutuality, trust, and support to work within our responsibility to elevate experiences and perspectives that have been forcibly marginalized and erased in the music industry. If you feel comfortable doing so, please self-identify in your application.
