Spotify is running ads recruiting agents for ICE -- the federal agency charged with mass deportation and ripping apart immigrant communities. These ads target vulnerable populations and recruit people by promising signing bonuses. Over the past year, ICE has normalized fear and intimidation in our neighborhoods. That's why we launched a new campaign to hold Spotify accountable.

To make matters worse, Spotify acknowledged the ads, and they claim the ads comply with their policy. We don't think we should support a service that doesn't think streaming government propaganda and hate-based recruitment campaigns should violate their policies. 

What you can do:

• Go to spotify.com/account and log in.

• Click “Cancel Premium” (or “Cancel Subscription”).

• We encourage you to leave a note explaining your cancellation. You can write something like, “Canceling until Spotify terminates ICE ads.”

• Follow the prompts to confirm cancellation. Your Premium benefits will continue until the end of your billing period, then your account will revert to the free plan.

Don't use Spotify? Help us spread the word on social media so that those who DO can cancel their subscription. 

And, we even have tips on alternative streaming platforms you can use, plus instructions for how to move your playlists to those streaming services. For more tips on how to participate in this important campaign, go ahead and check out our Cancel Spotify page.
