SXSW has announced that their 2025 festival will be not be accepting sponsorship from war profiteer companies or the US military. This is a tremendous win in the larger movement to end Israel's genocide against Palestinians. Sign up on this page to join the movement ensuring SXSW's warmonger divestment. Further action may be necessary as SXSW clarifies their intentions to include warmongers as exhibitors or speakers. _____________________________________ We honor the hard work of activists and the principled artists who withdrew their labor from SXSW 2024, in protest of Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza. We commend SXSW for listening to the demands of the artists. We urge SXSW to give further clarification regarding whether they will also refuse to invite war profiteers as exhibitors or speakers. We also celebrate a partial victory in SXSW increasing pay to artists, but we continue to echo UMAW’s demand for Fair Pay for Fair Play for all artists. https://actionnetwork.org/forms/victorySXSWdivestment
