[ [link removed] ]AEG is hosting Trump's next racist rally at the U.S. Bank Arena
Dear John,
I just started a petition titled "[ [link removed] ]Tell AEG to dump Trump!"
“Send her back! Send her back! Send her back!”
These are the words that the crowd at Trump’s last Make America Great
Again rally started screaming after Trump denigrated Senator Ilhan Omar
yet again with racist, Islamophobic rhetoric. The President of the United
States not only continues to abuse the authority of his office to
brutalize Black migrants across the country, but he is intentionally
targeting one of the few politicians brave enough to take a public stance
against his vicious, dehumanizing policies. And by using the U.S. Bank
Arena to host his next upcoming rally tomorrow, AEG is giving him the
stadium he needs to do exactly that.
[ [link removed] ]Tell Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG) to cut all business ties
related to Trump’s rallies immediately.
Two years into his presidency, we know Trump’s script. When he is
challenged, he responds predictably -- tweeting attacks at his opposition
that rely on blatant lies and organizing rallies where he can spew the
kind of racist language that has empowered his base to carry out acts of
violence against Black people across the country. When Trump tweeted that
the four Congresswomen of color known as “the squad” should “go back to
their countries” he knew what he was doing. As some of the only public
representatives willing to call Trump out for the injustices he is
carrying out, organizing rallies in response whose popularity rely on
racism and xenophobia is part of a larger strategy. By galvanizing his
base around hate, he intends to undermine the voices of the many people
who share his opposition’s values of justice, fairness, and equality for
all.
[ [link removed] ]Will you sign the petition and forward this email to make sure your
voice is heard? Add your name here.
AEG has a responsibility not to allow this to happen. In January 2017
AEG's CEO, Dan Beckerman, told his employees that “both diversity and
sustainability are two of the core values that we here at AEG live every
day and are wholly committed to fostering in our workplace and throughout
the world.” Yet, he is willing to profit from rallies that are based on
normalizing racist attacks on our neighborhoods and families. With 2020
fast approaching, the least that we should be demanding of the
corporations that serve us is that they divest from hate. Join me in
demanding that they do the right thing and dump Trump now.
[ [link removed] ]Trump is using racism and Islamophobia to escalate his attacks Senator
Ilhan Omar. Tell AEG they have a responsibility not to give him the
resources to do it.
Thank you,
Elyse Marin
