</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Liz Garo and Melanie Tusquellas are suing <strong>Save Live LLC / Gate 52</strong> for permanently closing their venue, The Alibi Palm Springs — a beloved independent home for live music, artists, and community.<strong><em> </em>With your help, they can seek justice, prevent Save Live from doing this to other venues and create new places where music and the arts can thrive. </strong>
</div>
<div>No amount is too small —please donate $5 or more !
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you’ve ever played a small stage, discovered a band in an intimate room, been a fan in the audience or believe independent venues deserve protection, this fight matters!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>All donations go directly to Sergenian Law Firm to cover court costs, jury fees, outside expert fees needed to reach their jury trial in LA Superior Court, January 11th 2027. No amount is too small — $5 or more truly helps!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What Happened</strong>
</div>
<div>Founded in 2018, The Alibi became a creative refuge for artists and fans. During the pandemic, Liz and Melanie partnered with <strong>Save Live LLC (now Gate 52)</strong>, a company that promised to “save” struggling independent venues. Instead, <strong>Save Live</strong> breached contracts, spread false claims, and forced <strong>The Alibi</strong> to close permanently — even accusing these respected women of exploiting the #MeToo movement for personal gain. The loss devastated both Liz and Melanie and the entire artist and fan community built around<strong> The Alibi</strong>. <em>Scroll down to read more press on the lawsuit.</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why This Case Matters</strong>
</div>
<div>Liz and Melanie are fighting for their names, for independent venues and artists, and to help stop this from happening to others. With your support, they can pursue justice and help create new spaces where music and culture can thrive.
</div>
<div>This case is about fairness, accountability, and protecting the places where creativity begins.
