"We've always been surrounded by these really smart people with high levels of integrity and morality who get shit done.
The community built itself, and we were lucky enough to be the soundtrack to this thing."
Welcome! We're glad glad glad that you've arrived. ♥️
We are PHEMA, The Phriendly Helping Emergency Mutual Aid network, a 501(c)(3) fan-led initiative dedicated to supporting the Phish community during times of emergency + the everyday.
Based around the pillars of PHRIENDLY, HELPING, EMERGENCY, MUTUAL AID + NETWORK, we aim to provide a comprehensive resource + social support network for our people. And we offer discount healthcare.
This is a brand new style of website. Part mutual aid resource library, part social media hub, it is entirely based around caring for each other + connecting in an inclusive + technologically progressive way, just as the Phish fanbase has done for decades.
With our very own private social media network, The CURRENT💧, we’ve made it easy to connect with other members of our community, develop new interests, engage in group activities + find the help you need.
So, if you’re looking for resources, guidance, a new therapist or a new friend for a Phish show, you’re in the right place.
Welcome to PHEMA. We’re happy that you’re here. ♥️
“Together we ascend and only then escape this gravity.
The net’s unbreakable, don’t worry about falling.”
