DEMONSTRATE: NO AI SELLOUT!!!

WHO: Music Workers Alliance/Austin Texas Musicians Org

WHEN: 3pm EST Tuesday May 19th

WHERE: assemble 3:00 Central Park/Columbus Circle, c/a 3:45 march to Universal Music Group 1755 Bdwy and 56th, c/a 4:00 rally at Warner Music Group 1633 Bdwy and 51st.

WHY:

Major label licensing to AI companies will result in legally bullet proof AI trained on the entire history of recorded music.***

This means devaluation and mass displacement for Union and non-union musicians alike.

The "We Need a Union”* campaign is getting on the street to tell the Union to fight back against exploitive AI at their 5/18-5/20 negotiations with the Major Labels and show the major labels that we are not going to accept an AI sell-out.

In addition:

• please pass this around to your friends
• please sign/circulate the We Need a Union petition.
• recording artists/songwriters: don’t sell out! sign our PLEDGE: NO AI licensing without a fair deal for ALL recording musicians.

We Need a Union campaign is supported by Music Workers Alliance, Austin Texas Musicians’ Organization, and Indie Musicians’ Caucus of the AFM, and welcomes the participation of all rank and file indie musicians.
