A group of more than 500 musicians have joined forces to launch the “Musicians For Palestine” campaign. Moving forward, musicians like Noname, Run The Jewels, Vic Mensa and Black Thought will refuse to “perform at Israel’s complicit cultural institutions.” The group is also dedicated to “fighting colonial dispossession and violence across the planet.”
“As musicians, we cannot be silent. Today it is essential that we stand with Palestine. We are calling on our peers to publicly assert their solidarity with the Palestinian people. Complicity with Israeli war crimes is found in silence, and today silence is not an option,” the letter reads.
“We speak together and demand justice, dignity and the right to self-determination for the Palestinian people and all who are fighting colonial dispossession and violence across the planet.”

600+ musicians (including Black Thought and Questlove of The Roots, System of a Down, Bun B, Habibi Funk, Noname, DJ Snake, and more) issued a joint letter affirming their support for Palestine. This was possible thanks to the leadership of @TheNarcicyst https://t.co/C96ISAaCyp
