1/ Today’s the day! The House Judiciary Committee is voting on the American Music Fairness Act today! This historic bill would––for the first time––guarantee that artists get paid for AM/FM radio airplay.

[Blake Morgan @TheBlakeMorgan]

Proud to stand with @DionneWarwick @SoulManSamMoore and @musicFIRST today, bringing the fight for #musicfairness right to @iHeartRadio's doors in NYC. It’s time to respect artists! Take action: https://t.co/GqyDgSIJ1C #IRespectMusic

This is my friend @Vafata, Endocrine Fellowship Director @MontefioreNYC Hospital, on the front lines. Heroically saving lives & celebrating one victory at a time in the midst of this crisis.

Her life is on the line saving NY’ers.

This is what #NewYorkStrong looks like. ✊♥️

@AOC I heard u might try to bypass extra phone call for ppl who filed for #UnEmploymentClaims online w/ @NYSLabor and still have to call to speak to a rep? I've called 2 weeks straight 300+ x everyday. Busy signal, hung up on. #helpus #nysunemploymentissues

[Melissa Giges @MelissaGiges]

@NYSLabor I've been calling for 9 days straight & I'm either getting a busy signal, automated message to call back, or I get in and get hung up on. I filed online but need to confirm with a rep. What do I do? I'm frustrated. Why do you need more info?

The CEO of @Spotify is worth $1.9 billion.
There are 1.2 million artists on @Spotify.
They're pledging $10 million total.
So they're donating $8.33 to each artist, total.
Less than one album download.
Less than 1 CD sold.
Per artist.

So @Spotify is not only unwilling to pay musicians fairly for their work, they are also unwilling to pay attention to their own platform containing numerous playlist titles that are a variety of explicit calls to “gas” or kill Jews. #IRespectMusic #MLKDay https://t.co/g3KEp3Q8fz

Preview my debut album, Anger’s Candy, newly remastered in hi-def audio. Produced by Terry Manning (Led Zeppelin, Shakira, ZZ Top), Anger’s Candy features my celebrated duet with @LennyKravitz on “Why Don’t You See.” #AppleMusic #NewMusicFriday https://t.co/MNv8RUfXwx

Thank you to @Newsweek for publishing my Tweet, and for understanding and explaining the issue. #IRespectMusic https://t.co/UZQwdkyxgO

[Blake Morgan @TheBlakeMorgan]

How dare you @SIRIUSXM. Since 2012 you've refused to pay royalties to artists like @ArethaFranklin who recorded before 1972 by arguing there's a legal loophole that lets you do so. Pay tribute to her by PAYING HER and artists! Shame on you! #IRespectMusic

#ArethaFranklin's artistry remains unmatched in music history. While Americans everywhere rally behind her, one US Senator (@RonWyden) continues to stand in the way of legislation that gets our legacy artists paid. Sir, show some respect. #IRespectMusic https://t.co/9a0ZVHBtjE

[Blake Morgan @TheBlakeMorgan]

This would be a great time for the US Senate to come through for our greatest artists––with the artist who inspired the #IRespectMusic campaign at the top of the list. Don't stand in the way of justice Sen. @RonWyden. History is watching you. #CLASSICSACT https://t.co/XxZ2pWLo4K

@FlyFrontier your airlines is the worst I’ve ever traveled. I’m stuck in #Cincinnati because you can’t get your shit together. Spent $ on hotel last night and you aren’t offering any compensation?

[Melissa Giges @MelissaGiges]

@FlyFrontier you need to get your staff together. No news for flight #F91156 to #LGA and we might have to sleep over in #Cincinnati 😡 not happy with your service. Will you be compensating your passengers that can’t get home?

[Blake Morgan @TheBlakeMorgan]

In this new feature interview with @ABP_Media, I focus on the artistic middle-class and what stands in our way, the #MusicModernizationAct, and how #IRespectMusic became the largest grass-roots campaign in American music history. https://t.co/FjyuBFHnMM

[Blake Morgan @TheBlakeMorgan]

In case you were wondering how it all "works" for music makers. #IRespectMusic

Hey @Spotify, you listening? #IRespectMusic
