raising prices NOW!
Dear MoveOn member,
I wanted to make sure you saw this email about Netflix raising prices on
subscriptions again despite record profits. Netflix is already
implementing these price hikes, with some users now paying up to $22.99 a
month when Netflix used to cost only $6.99 when it first started. Enough
is enough! We must come together to stop this corporate greed.

NOW?
When Netflix first started, it was marketed as an alternative to greedy
cable companies that charged outrageous prices, but now Netflix is turning
into what they were against, and they're raking in corporate profits on
the backs of working people.
[ [link removed] ]More than 119,000 fellow MoveOn members have already signed the
petition to tell Netflix to stop the price hikes. There is power in
numbers, John. Click here to add your name to the petition, and

Thanks for all you do.

Netflix's corporate greed.

raising prices NOW!
Dear MoveOn member,
Netflix is raising prices on subscriptions again, despite record
profits.^1
There is no reason that greedy corporations should pay less in taxes than
working people, but, in 2021, Netflix paid a tax rate of only 1.1% on $5.3
BILLION in profit, avoiding over $1 billion in taxes.^2 Yet still, Netflix
raised prices by 10.7% in January of 2022, and now they’re raising their
prices again.^3 Enough is enough! We must come together to stop this
corporate greed.

NOW?
Netflix’s newest price increase follows its unpopular and restrictive
policy change regarding password sharing, requiring customers to pay an
extra $7.99 to share their password with someone outside of their
household.^4 Netflix needs to know that consumers have the power—and we're
not going to allow them to get rich while they slash services and raise
costs.
The reality is, when one streaming giant like Netflix raises its prices,
the others often follow. Disney+, Hulu, Apple TV+, Discovery+, and AMC+
are also raising prices on some of their monthly subscriptions.^5 It’s
unacceptable.

Over the years, many people have ended their traditional cable TV
contracts and migrated to streaming services, but the price hikes on these
services are quickly becoming unsustainable. Netflix must stop the price
hikes NOW.

Netflix is implementing a price hike despite anticipating 5 BILLION
dollars in free cash flow, partly due to writers and actors going on
strike because Netflix and other streaming giants were refusing to offer
them a fair contract.^6 So essentially, writers and actors with the
Writers Guild of America (WGA) and Screen Actors Guild (SAG-AFTRA) went
months without work or pay while Netflix got richer.
It’s corporate greed on the backs of writers, actors, production staff,
and Netflix subscribers, plain and simple. It must end. [ [link removed] ]Sign the
petition to tell Netflix: Stop the corporate greed, and stop the price
hikes on subscriptions, NOW!
The massive wealth inequality that we see between the ultrawealthy and
everyday working people is reflected in the entertainment industry too.
Streaming companies like Netflix make BILLIONS of dollars in corporate
profits each year and pay top executives hundreds of MILLIONS of dollars
combined, while exploiting writers, actors, production staff, and
streaming subscribers. This is one of the many reasons why we have to come
together to stop these price hikes.
