Indivisibles,

Today, social media feeds are full of people sharing their Spotify Wrapped
results, while Spotify is full of … ICE recruitment ads. 

Spotify’s annual personalized look back is usually a fun way to reflect on
what you’ve listened to over the year and share your tastes with friends.
But it’s kind of a buzzkill when propaganda for a brutal secret police
force ends up in your top genres because Spotify has chosen to make itself
a pipeline for Trump’s deportation machine. 

So while Spotify is in the national conversation this week, we’re hoping
everyone in this movement will continue to boycott the platform and use
this opportunity to urge others to do the same until it stops running ads
for ICE.

Here are a few things you can do right now: 

* If you’re still paying for Spotify premium, cancel your subscription.
[ [link removed] ]We’ve got instructions (and some suggestions on alternatives)
here. 
* Don’t use Spotify’s free version either. You don’t need to delete your
account. Just close out your apps and don’t open them again until
Spotify stops forcing ICE ads into people’s feeds. 
* Instead of sharing your Spotify Wrapped this year, [ [link removed] ]share our
Wrapped-themed posts calling on others to cancel Spotify. As long as
Spotify is willing to take money from ICE, they don’t need (and don’t
deserve) free advertising on our social feeds. And there’s no reason
you can’t post your own list of top songs/artists on social -- maybe
alongside a message about why you chose not to stream them on
Spotify. 
* Use this social media moment to have GENTLE, NON-SHAMING conversations
with friends about the Spotify boycott. Seriously, no one is going to
respond well to judgy DMs when they’re just trying to post something
fun about the music they like. So approach with kindness, maybe
compliment their music tastes, and then talk about why you’ve decided
to stream from other platforms for the time being (one point you can
make: Those platforms probably treat their favorite artists much, much
better than Spotify does). 
* Help us track the growth of this economic campaign by taking
our [ [link removed] ]one-question survey. 

Psychologists have looked at why people love sharing Spotify Wrapped so
much, and the answer is pretty straightforward: We do it because it makes
us feel like part of a group and because it's a form of self-expression.

The good news is, standing in solidarity with immigrant communities by
promoting a boycott of Spotify accomplishes both of these things too. 

The more of us do it, the more we can bring others along with us. 

And we’d argue (humbly, as massive music fans ourselves) this kind of
activism says more about what kind of person you are than a colorful list
of the songs you streamed most this year. 

Spotify ends this year's Wrapped by telling customers, “all of your
listening makes you part of something bigger.” [ [link removed] ]Strategically boycotting
Spotify until it stops recruiting for ICE makes you part of something
bigger, too. And our numbers are growing all the time. 

In solidarity,
