The MU stands in solidarity with Jewish communities, and reaffirms its commitment to opposing discrimination, prejudice and hatred in all their forms.

We condemn the antisemitic attacks in Golders Green this week, and stands in solidarity with our Jewish members, Jewish musicians, and Jewish communities more widely. The MU extends our deepest condolences to the victims of the attack and their families.

The rise in antisemitism in the UK is something we all have a responsibility to stand against. The MU opposes discrimination, prejudice, and hatred in all their forms, and will continue our work to create a safer music industry for all musicians.
