The music platform Spotify has created a pro-DACA playlist in response to the Trump administration's decision to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.

The playlist–entitled "No Moment For Silence"–features songs from pro-DACA musicians, including immigrants, Variety reported.

The musicians on the list include Demi Lovato, Camila Cabello, Logic, Jared Leto, Daddy Yankee, Becky G, Juanes, and Khalid.

"I encourage each and every one of you to support and stand for immigration," Lovato said. "For everyone out there who is fighting for this cause, I encourage you to stay strong."

Leto also pledged his support for the "dreamers."

"Obviously, supporting people who are Americans and have lived in this country is important, and protecting them from losing their legal status in the country they grew up in is paramount," Leto said. "So I ask for your support for Dreamers, and I pledge mine."

Juanes offered his own message to immigrants, saying "destiny brought you here."

"The U.S. is a country that belongs to you too. You’re here because destiny brought you here," said Colombia-born Juanes. "You have to keep fighting to stay. You can count on the support of an entire community that’s here for you."

Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced Tuesday that the DACA executive order, implemented under former President Barack Obama, will be rescinded, providing time for Congress to act and implement relevant legislation "should they so choose."
