We are people from across the world using the power of creativity to overcome the effects of war, torture and persecution.

We are leaving Twitter/X. Despite calls for the platform to address a rise in hate speech, it allows it to thrive, fuelling far right violence & the targeting of refugees & safety seekers. It is not a safe space for our communities.

Lovely feedback in praise of our music facilitators!❤️

Our team is highly skilled in creative facilitation & mentoring: it's amazing how quickly children develop music skills, which they share beyond our programmes😊🎶

Two more lives tragically lost in the Channel—a stark reminder that these deaths are preventable.
We cannot normalise these tragedies. We need safe routes now - nobody should have to lose their life to seek safety

We're proud to join over 240 orgs to call for communities & the country to be brought together for a different way forward – one that's compassionate & united.

This must be a turning point.

People seeking safety are often survivors of violence & recent attacks have caused fear & trauma for people already trying to recover.

But last night people all across the country came together to send a clear message: racism, Islamophobia and anti-refugee hate are not welcome.

[Music Action International 🧡 @MusicActionInt]

In this heart-warming clip from Refugee Week, young Harmonise participants send a message of compassion, unity and shared empathy to refugees everywhere 🧡 Please share if their words resonate with you.

[Together With Refugees 🧡 @RefugeeTogether]

Let this forever be a reminder that together, united, we are powerful, we are loud, and we will win.

"As people seeking sanctuary, we are human beings, we are also parents... We are not the perpetrators of violence, but the survivors of it."

Huge solidarity with Sanctuary Ambassador Martha who spoke in Cardiff this weekend ✊

[Freedom from Torture🧡 @FreefromTorture]

People who care about the UK don’t burn libraries. They don’t attack people seeking safety from torture and war.

The thugs on our streets don’t represent who we are.

To our friends, neighbours & survivors who are most threatened by this hatred - we will always stand with you.

[Music Action International 🧡 @MusicActionInt]

We've joined 80+ organisations urging the Prime Minister to recall Parliament to address the scale of the crisis & ensure that communities are protected.

[Runnymede Trust @RunnymedeTrust]

With 80 anti-racist and migrant rights organisations, we've written to @Keir_Starmer asking for Parliament to be recalled to address the scale of this crisis.

The new govt must change the dial, and foster zero tolerance for far-right, racist and anti-migrant narratives.

[Music Action International 🧡 @MusicActionInt]

Our amazing facilitator @Lowkey0nline tells us what’s really behind the riots...

[Lowkey @Lowkey0nline]

The truth about refugees in Britain...

[Women for Refugee Women 🧡 @4refugeewomen]

"After a wave of far-right riots spread across the UK and asylum seekers, refugees and ethnic minorities were targeted, here's how to show your solidarity..."

Huge thanks to the @BigIssue.

Together, we are stronger - always.

After a weekend of shocking racist, Islamophobic violence, we want to state our support for and solidarity with our communities who are under attack. People seeking asylum, Muslims, and Black and brown people are being targeted in their homes, businesses, workplaces and mosques.
