Music Declares Emergency is a group of artists, music industry professionals and organisations that stand together to declare climate and ecological emergency and call for an immediate governmental response to protect all life on Earth. Bringing people together is critical to how we are making a difference.

We may also share your information with service providers (such as cloud storage and services) who process data on our behalf.
Julie’s Bicycle will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely by these third parties and in accordance with General Data Protection Regulation, either by ensuring contractors and suppliers (if outside the EEA) are based in a territory whose data protection laws are deemed by the European Commission to provide adequate safeguards, or by ensuring our contracts with any suppliers cover data protection agreements and safeguards that meet EU Data Protection standards.
