Punks Against Prejudice

Punks Against Prejudice is a community for those of us who want to make the world a better place through punk!

Inspired by the Rock Against Racism movement, everyone should feel included & we all should do our part to make society better for every punk!

Love will always prevail over hate. The scenes of the antifacists protecting the cities & communities last night was the hope we all needed to see in this country & proof that power always belonged to the people. As the great say, people unite.
To all the gammon and skinheads (don't even get me started about how you can't be racist & a skinhead as there would be no skinhead culture without the Jamaican culture and influence started in the '60s), there is no place for TRASH: Transphobia, Racism, Ableism, Sexism or Homophobia. There's no place for prejudice and every antifacist took the trash out yesterday 🗑
New design coming soon, created by 💜

Another day, another hardcore band that comes out as problematic, this time with transphobic comments. I'm so disappointed and saddened with releasing a positive statement explaining themselves and apologising yesterday, but back to posting today like nothing happened. The same with the announced support band & promoters saying absolutely nothing in the entirety of this. It's very easy to say you're an ally for minorities onstage, but when it comes to stepping up and taking actual action, nothing is done and everyone falls silent.
It's also very easy to not be an as***le and let people live their lives; to not mock a cohort of people who are already being demonised by the press & ridiculed by the Government for simply trying to exist. How did it get to the point where hardcore and punk became so elitist and continues to be gatekept by men, thinking this behaviour is okay in 2024?
My advice? Get more women, non-binary and trans punks on hardcore bills, in your crew, in the crowd. It's time to open the scene up; the bands are out there, promoters - do your job. It's time hardcore became a safe space FOR EVERYONE. So many people don't go to these shows because they know it simply isn't safe for them and with nothing being done about it, are we surprised?
As for the venues who did cancel their CMI UK shows, said something and took a stand, thank you. For CMI who are back to posting like business as usual, I hope you actually make a change and it wasn't just all talk, no trousers. For the support bands & promoters who have said nothing so you can stay being on a major tour, your silence has been noted and won't be forgotten.
I hope I will eat my words and see CMI and the other bands on the bill actually do something, but I won't be holding my breath. Nothing changes if nothing changes.
PUNKS AGAINST PREJUDICE ALWAYS.

Meet the makers! Hello punks, let us introduce ourselves. We are a pair of twins called India & Mickie, who started Punks Against Prejudice to raise money & awareness to subjects that need to be spoken about, especially in music. Equality and respect is paramount to us.
Following in the footsteps of Rock Against Racism & SHARP, we intend on making this page a platform for punks to meet others, share stories & spread awareness ❤️ Nice to meet you!

Who else had a rad time seeing at Wembley? I definitely did! Lars said a statement on stage that everyone regardless of gender & race is welcome to their shows, & those kind of messages spoken onstage to thousands of people are vital to keep punk rock the safe space it needs to be for everyone. We love to see it! 💚
