Help us grow Barrington Indivisible

ACTIONS/EVENTS

This Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday (Through 11/27 - Monday, December 1), we’re joining together to send a clear message to corporate America and this administration: We Ain’t Buying It.

For eleven months, our communities have faced mass firings, attacks on DEI, and ICE raids — all while a government shutdown leaves 42 million people without food support. Meanwhile, corporations like Target, Home Depot, and Amazon continue to profit from policies that harm working families, immigrants, and communities of color. Enough is enough.

This action calls out Target for caving to biased attacks on DEI, Home Depot for allowing ICE to target people on their properties, and Amazon for funding this administration in exchange for tax cuts. Until they stop collaborating with harmful policies, our dollars will go elsewhere.

We Ain’t Buying It is a coordinated weekend of economic noncooperation led by organizations, workers, and everyday people who believe our values aren’t for sale. Together, we will:

Expose corporations colluding with authoritarian power. Withhold spending from major retailers.
Redirect resources to mutual aid and small, Black, and immigrant-owned businesses
Show the collective power of economic restraint

Can Ranked Choice Voting help us elect leaders who truly represent us?

In 2022, just 8% of voters decided the primary winners in 83% of House races. Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) helps fix that — making sure the winner has support from at least 50% of voters.

Join Indivisible Barrington for a fun-raiser (not a fundraiser!) where we’ll demonstrate how RCV works using small beer tastings as your ballots!

We’ll have pizza, salad, and non-alcoholic drinks, plus a relaxed, friendly atmosphere to talk about democracy and have some fun.

$40 per person: includes food and beer tasting. Experience Ranked Choice Voting - Monday, December 1, 6-8:30 pm, Moretti of Barrington.

Please Venmo or Zelle Michelle Beckemeier. Instructions here... RSVP

Come for the beer, stay for democracy — and bring a friend!.

Tell Spotify to stop running ICE ads

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.
