Music Creators North America Issue Statement on Ukraine Invasion
Music Creators North America, of which the SCL is a foundation member and president Ashley Irwin is the current co-chair, issued the following statement to the world on March 3, regarding the Russian invasion of Ukraine:
Music Creators North America has joined the global creator community to condemn, in the
strongest terms possible, the Russian invasion of Ukraine. This unjustified and brutal act of
aggression is an assault on the lives, rights and freedoms of the Ukrainian people and on the
irreplaceable culture they have given to the world.
We stand in steadfast solidarity with our Ukrainian sisters and brothers as they resist this act of
savagery, and through their courage and humanity, we hope and believe that they will prevail. We
also join in support of those members of our community within Russia who are bravely expressing
their opposition to the barbarism currently being targeted towards the Ukrainian people.
Together with our partners at CIAM, we encourage our fellow creators around the world to raise
their voices in forceful opposition to this unlawful invasion and to share their revulsion of the
current Russian regime which has perpetrated this assault.
