September 30, 2019 @ 6:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Music Declares Emergency hosts an evening of ideas, discussion, inspiration and music.
During September 2019 were the BIGGEST climate protests the world has ever seen. Last Friday, Julie’s Bicycle headed to Trafalgar Square with Music Declares Emergency to join millions of people on the street worldwide supporting the youth-led Fridays for Future school strikes. TIME TO KEEP UP THE MOMENTUM.
On the 30th September Music Declares Emergency hosts MDE:ONE a (sold out!) evening of ideas, discussion, inspiration and music on the 30 September in London – all about how the music industry can mobilise itself it to bring about rapid and lasting societal change through the decarbonisation of its practises and mass civic engagement through the power of music.
