Detroit is one of the music capitals of the world—the birthplace of Motown, techno and so much more. We are home to thousands of musicians who deserve fair compensation for their work. I introduced legislation to make sure streaming services are paying musicians properly.

Apparently the new Netflix show about Spotify uses our Justice at Spotify action as a storyline, and underlines the fact that Daniel Ek believes it’s not his responsibility to pay artists fairly. The show creates a fictitious future that shows the UMAW equivalent succeeding!

With the ongoing pandemic, artists are putting their lives at risk for booking nightmares and incurring thousands of dollars of tour debt.
Santigold is correct. The struggles of touring are rarely ever spoken of. Hoping more big acts will take a stance.

Yes! A resolution to create a new streaming royalty - paid by platforms direct to musicians, no labels involved - is now formally introduced and live in the House! Thank you @RashidaTlaib and @JamaalBowmanNY! Congrats @UMAW_!

In the last two days, music workers across the country have sent nearly 7k letters asking their Representatives to sign onto Rep Tlaib's Congressional Resolution for a new streaming royalty. Let's keep pushing, send a letter here: actionnetwork.org/letters/te…
So proud of the work we’ve been doing at @UMAW_ - this bill could change sla lot about our industry. Please reach out to your representatives and urge them to co-sponsor
That's right!
Many of the people who fill our lives with joy and creativity are also struggling to get by, and that’s in large part because of how corporations have stacked the deck to enrich themselves at the expense of the people creating that art.

Musicians receive less than a penny per stream on average. So we are introducing a resolution that would create a new mandatory streaming royalty that would be paid directly to musicians.
**This would not be possible, but for the courage of the @UMAW_.
