Guess what’s on the Consent Calendar on March 3rd?

Tell the County Supervisors: “NO more military equipment puchases on the Consent Calendar!”

According to AB-481, a CA law passed in 2021, law enforcement agencies who want to buy military equipment have to obtain approval from their applicable governing body in public meetings. The law was adopted into Ventura County Ordinance 4603. For today’s example, we’re talking about the Sheriff’s office request to buy a drone on the V.C.

Buh-Bye, Spotify!

Don’t stream fascism. Help cancel Spotify, even if you’ve never used it!

Spotify is running ads recruiting agents for ICE! A platform built to connect creators and listeners is helping an authoritarian regime build up its secret police force. When users and musicians called them out, Spotify’s first act was doubling down with “everybody-else-is-doing-it” excuses that would make your mother laugh.

But we’re going to make them listen. When the regime tried to cancel Jimmy Kimmel, three million of us canceled our Disney+ streaming service that month, and about 4.1 million canceled Disney-owned Hulu. If enough of us cancel our Spotify subscriptions, it’ll send a clear message that’s too loud for them to ignore.

Yes, there are other problematic companies, such as HBO Max, Hulu, ESPN, HBO Max, Hulu, ESPN, Pandora, X, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Meta. But Indivisible is concentrating on one problematic company at a time. This maximizes our chances of success, which will make other offenders take notice.

Action #1 for everyone – Email Spotify and tell them to stop collaborating with fascism.
