JOIN THE MOVEMENT: Reject apartheid, occupation, and genocide of Palestinians and remove your music from Israel.
#NoMusicForGenocide is a cultural boycott of Israel. Over 1000 artists and labels have geo-blocked and removed their music from that territory in response to Israel’s genocide in #Gaza; occupation and ethnic cleansing of the #WestBank; apartheid within Israel / '48; political repression of Pro-Palestine efforts wherever we live; and the music industry’s own ties to weapons and crimes against humanity.
This tangible act is just one step toward honoring Palestinian demands to isolate and delegitimize Israel as it kills without consequence on the world stage. The successful cultural boycotts against apartheid South Africa prove that our creative work grants us agency and power…
