Excluded from putting on Black live events? Have your say! Black and Asian-led events are being shut down, over-policed, and denied licenses—while others go ahead without question. For too long, there’s been no data to prove what we already know. Now, that’s changing. The?REMEL (Race Equality in Music Events Licensing) survey?is the first of its kind, collecting real evidence to push for fairer licensing policies and protect Black and Asian artists, promoters, and venues. The system is broken.?REMEL is here to challenge it. Your voice is the missing piece. We need your stories to create change. Take the survey now. This research is sponsored by the Mayor of London?, and?Black Lives in Music?has commissioned the?Runnymede Trust?to gather evidence. Together we will challenge unfair practices, influence government policy, and push for a fairer licensing system.

Six months on from the racist riots, our new report highlights the role that media and politicians play in fuelling this violence. We show how the ‘hostile environment’ is not a new approach to immigration, but a continuation of a long history of racist, xenophobic immigration policies - designed to exclude people of colour. It is a form of modern racism, designed to keep as many people of colour and ethnically minoritised people as possible out of the UK, without appearing to be racist. In parliamentary debates and media reporting, negative terms like “illegal”, “flood” and “influx” are persistently used in association with migrants, posing them as a threat, dangerous and outsiders. The word “illegal” is in the top five most strongly associated words with ‘migrant’. Politicians and the media cannot continue to deny their role in pushing harmful narratives. We urge them to take meaningful action to eliminate racist hate speech - among public figures and in the media - and we call on the government to end ‘hostile environment’ immigration policies once and for all.
