Spotify was built to connect artists and audiences, to amplify creativity—not authoritarianism. But today, it’s doing just that. Spotify is running recruitment ads for ICE. These ads—some calling undocumented people “dangerous illegals”—urge listeners to “fulfill your mission to protect America” by joining ICE.

This isn’t just a policy misstep. It’s a betrayal of the communities that make Spotify thrive: immigrants, artists, activists, and everyday listeners who believe in dignity and justice.

Here’s what you need to know:

💸 ICE ads are appearing on Spotify’s free tier and between podcasts, targeting young listeners with promises of $50,000 signing bonuses.

🎤 Spotify claims the ads don’t violate their policies, even as artists like King Gizzard, Shakira, and Zack de la Rocha pull their music in protest.

🏛️ The ads are part of a $30 billion DHS initiative to hire 10,000 deportation officers, with over 527,000 deportations already carried out this year.

Spotify is choosing profit over principle. When confronted, they doubled down. But we’ve seen people-power work before—just ask Disney, which reversed course after mass cancellations last month.

We’re not just consumers—we’re a community. And we won’t fund fearmongering or mass deportation. Let’s make it loud enough for Spotify to hear: No ads for ICE. No complicity. No more.

You’ll lose playlists and saved music—but you’ll gain your integrity.
