Indivisibles,

Spotify is running ads recruiting agents for ICE.

Let that sink in. A platform built to connect creators and listeners is
helping an authoritarian regime build up its secret police force. They’re
choosing complicity over the artists, podcasters, and fans who make
Spotify what it is -- and when users and musicians called them out,
Spotify’s first act was doubling down.

But we’re not going to idly accept that. We’re going to make them listen.

We’re asking anyone who subscribes to Spotify Premium to cancel your
subscription until Spotify stops running ICE ads. [ [link removed] ]Click here to watch
step-by-step instructions on how to cancel Spotify Premium.

When ABC/Disney capitulated to the Trump regime by silencing Jimmy Kimmel
this year, millions of paying customers spoke up by canceling their
Disney+ subscriptions and putting off their Disney vacations. It worked.

The same people-power that made ABC/Disney reverse course can work on
Spotify. Spotify needs its listeners and subscribers far more than it
relies on advertisers. If enough of us cancel our subscriptions, it’ll
send a clear message that's too loud for Spotify to ignore.

To catch Spotify leaders’ attention and compel them to stop capitulating,
we need to move fast and in unison, so we’re asking anyone who can to
[ [link removed] ]cancel your Spotify Premium subscription today.

Read on for more tools and info, including ways to join this fight even if
you aren’t a Spotify user!

NOT a Spotify subscriber? How to take action:

If you're not a Spotify Premium subscriber, there’s still a meaningful
place for you in this campaign! Chances are high that you know someone --
a child, grandchild, friend, or social follower -- who uses Spotify
Premium, and pushing your favorite artists and podcasters to speak out
with us is also really helpful.

Here's how you can make a difference if you don't subscribe to Spotify:

 1. [ [link removed] ]Use our pre-made social posts to support the Cancel Spotify
campaign online. Post to all your favorite social networks to raise
awareness of Spotify’s complicity, our campaign, and how to cancel.
 2. Urge artists, podcasters, and labels to publicly denounce these ads
and pressure Spotify leadership. If you know anyone who creates music
or content for Spotify, please reach out to them directly. If you
don’t, use social media to publicly call on your favorite artists to
join the fight.
 3. Attend a peaceful protest outside Spotify offices*. We’ll share
information on peaceful and nonviolent protests as they are planned,
and we encourage you to organize a peaceful protest of your own if
Spotify has a presence in your community.

Profit-driven media giants and their billionaire owners seem to think that
going along with the authoritarian Trump regime is the easy thing. They’re
following the profits and painting it as neutrality.

But in the face of an unjust regime, neutrality is complicity.

[ [link removed] ]Please join our campaign to send Spotify a message that power still
belongs with the people. Don’t stream fascism. Cancel Spotify.

See you soon,
Indivisible Team
