(around the Spotify logo) GET ICE OUT OF SPOTIFY ICE DOESN’T NEED A PLAYLIST. IT NEEDS ACCOUNTABILITY. • Cancel your Spotify Premium subscription until Spotify removes all ICE ads • Demand Spotify immediately terminate all ICE and DHS advertising contracts. • Urge artists and podcasters to speak out.

Spotify is running ads to help ICE recruit more agents to infringe our rights and terrorize our communities. We’re calling on users to stop paying for or using the app until Spotify stops streaming fascism: indivisible.org/cancel-spoti...

You can be kind, loving, and considerate, AND still possess the power and ability to use your voice and stand in your truth. Being kind doesn't mean being silenced and accepting of people's disrespect.

This is difficult; however, I think it's worth it to strive for this.

5 Calls Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.

Call your representatives. Demand they replace Chuck Schumer as Senate Minority Leader. We need opposition leaders who understand the moment we’re in and are going to fight back.

Find your reps here:

We hope you can stop by and meet some of our members..

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Overcrowded cells. Unsanitary conditions. Limited access to food and water.

These are the conditions that ICE has created at 26 Federal Plaza, which eleven elected officials sought to expose. Instead, they were arrested.

They must be released right now — and inspectors let in.
