We did it.

Because of you, we have just crossed the 545-signature mark. This isn't just a number—in 2025, this is a legal trigger that Islington and Hackney Councils cannot ignore.

Here is the impact of your signature today:

HACKNEY: We have passed the 500-signature threshold. This grants us the legal right to hold a senior Council Officer to account in a public Scrutiny meeting. They now have to answer—on the record—for the systemic barriers facing our music instructors and artists.

ISLINGTON: We are now over halfway to a mandatory meeting with the Council Leader. The momentum is firmly on our side.

The Mission Just Got Sharper:

We have formally updated our petition to demand protection for all nine protected characteristics under the Equality Act. We are calling out the "passive compliance" of the past. We want real, anti-racist action in how music venues are run and how creative practitioners are commissioned.

The Next Goal: 750 Signatures.

At 750, we trigger a Full Council Debate in Hackney. That means every single Councillor will be forced to stand up and state where they land on DEI and cultural equity.

One final ask: Share this link one more time. Tell them we are 205 signatures away from taking this fight directly to the Council floor.
