Announcing our October Climate Action Challenge 🚨 This October, we're inviting our Movement to support artists in speaking out on the things that matter most to them. 💚 At Music Declares Emergency, we believe music must remain a space for urgent, unafraid expression. The power of art to take complex and divisive issues and create understanding and consensus is a super power that sits at the heart of our mission. In a time of increased division with censorship, shadow bans and fake news making truth harder to find, supporting artists to speak through their art is more important than ever. This month we’ll be sharing our #NOMUSICONADEADPLANET Class of 2025 and encouraging you to tag your favourite artists, comment love & support on their posts, and create a positive environment for artists to speak their mind.

At FORWARDS, Joe Leam spoke with Katy J Pearson about disability rights, fond memories of campaign as a child, and what she’d say if she could speak directly to Mother Nature herself. 🌿💙 A heartfelt conversation about inspiring change as an artist, building awareness and empathy, and sharing memories of the natural world.
