Don’t Stream Fascism: Cancel Spotify
- Spotify is running ads recruiting agents for ICE. These ads target vulnerable populations, promise signing bonuses, and normalize fear and intimidation in our neighborhoods. Spotify claims these ads comply with their policy, but the truth is streaming hate is not neutral. It’s a choice! We refuse to fund it. We refuse to ignore it.
- A HISTORY OF COMPLICITY: Through subsidiaries including Citizens Bank, Citizens Financial Group (CFG) has been a major lender to private prison and detention operators for years despite a mountain of allegations against them including abuse, fraud, hazardous working conditions, sexual harassment, medical neglect, and forced labor.
Boycott Hyatt
- Hyatt, specifically Hyatt Place Boston/Medford, have been reported to be housing ICE agents, leading to protests. While the corporation has pledged not to be used as a jail, franchises are helping ICE > let’s not help them by staying elsewhere!
