A subscriber has the right to unsubscribe anytime they wish. You can not forcefully resubscribe them back.
MailChimp will not allow you to add them back, because that’s spamming. It’s unethical and illegal in some countries.
In this instance, you can send them an email with the link to the MailChimp-hosted sign-up form to your campaign email list if they wish to re-subscribe.
It will be totally up to them whether to resubscribe or not.
But what if they unsubscribed by accident? Sending the same sign-up form is still the only option.
