A music workplace safety pledge was signed by the Recording Academy, BMI, NMPA and more. The pledge was devised by advocacy group The 100 Percenters.
, a musicians’ advocacy group, announced Wednesday that several music organizations have signed a pledge designed to hold companies accountable for ensuring
Having or creating a safe space to support their artists, songwriters, producers and staff who don’t feel safe The organization hopes the pledge will help protect artists, songwriters, producers and staff members who work for or with these organizations. Safety is a particularly pressing concern for women and non-binary creatives working in male-dominated spaces in the industry.
The letter continues: “Despite finding allies within these companies who acknowledged the necessity of initiatives like the Safe Music Business pledge, the response has been dishearteningly silent. We encountered a significant reluctance throughout the outreach process to secure pledges. It’s a disappointing reality. It shouldn’t be such a challenging task for companies to adopt a more transparent, proactive stance in addressing sexual misconduct and violence within the music industry.
