John,

Elon Musk just handed Tucker Carlson a global megaphone by agreeing to put
his "show" on Twitter.

Carlson was just fired by Fox News in the US for pushing his white
supremacist and misogynist views in private texts, as well as knowingly
pushing US election lies on air to millions.

Ad execs are already fleeing because Musk has let hundreds of far right
extremists back on Twitter. Now with racist Carlson about to launch his
new show directly on the platform, let’s call on all advertisers to dump
Twitter!

Since Musk bought Twitter and stripped it of any meaningful content
moderation, neo-Nazis and QAnon believers have been running amok on the
platform. Researchers found that slurs against Black Americans tripled
after Musk became Twitter’s owner.

Fifty of Twitter’s top advertisers have already walked away - big name
brands like Chevrolet and Chipotle knew that the risk of their brand
appearing next to tweets from neo-Nazis calling for ethnic cleansing
wasn’t worth it.

Now with Tucker Carlson getting ready to spout his toxic and hateful lies,
we need to remind advertisers of the massive reputational risk advertising
on this platform poses.

Ekō members have persuaded advertisers to walk away from tech platforms
before. In 2020, we piled pressure on some of the biggest advertisers to
boycott Facebook, forcing Mark Zuckerberg to crack down on hateful content
on his platform. Now, let’s do it again and tell major brands to dump
Twitter.
