Tech is at an inflection point, but we believe we can come together and choose community over profit, making moral choices. Let's fix tech, together.

Abolish ICE.
This story is WILD ICE created a fake university, then: - enticed foreign-born students to attend - charged them money - arrested them - deported them Students had come legally on student visas, but since the school was fake the visas weren't valid freep.com/story/news/local/m…

YES. 1,000+ artists are boycotting @amazon for collaborating with ICE. β€œWe will not allow Amazon to exploit our creativity to promote its brand while it enables attacks on immigrants, communities of color, workers, and local economies.” #NoMusicForICE vice.com/en_us/article/pa7nv…

We've requested that our distributor pull our music from @AmazonMusic because we agree that there should be #NoMusicForICE. This cruel organization regularly violates human rights and the American spirit, and we won't be party to it. Read more here. nomusicforice.com

Apologies to the revolutionaries we have connected with and then were quiet on! I who physically does the tippy-tappy on the keyboard here had a medical emergency and was out for a bit, but the revolution is *thriving* and we're moving forward!

Do you see all of these vulnerable groups standing up for what is right and think, "hey, I wonder what would happen if we could mobilize a powerful group like the tech industry to stand up for what's right too?" Please come stand with us.
