Hi ,
Howie and the team cannot thank you enough!
Thanks to supporters like you, the official Howie2020 Twitter account [3]
has been restored!
You have been pivotal in making it clear that WE WILL NOT BE STOPPED!
Let's keep up the momentum. Every follow, like, reply, and retweet matter
to get our account back on the Twitter algorithm's good side. With your
continued help, we will be able to ensure that the greatest issues of our
time (climate change, growing inequality, and the New Nuclear Arms Race)
are at the center of the political discussion.
While we are glad to be back on Twitter, there is a lesson to be learned
from this situation:
WITH THE FLIP OF A SWITCH, A SINGLE COMPANY CAN SILENCE FREE SPEECH.
It can be shocking to step back and realize just how much we rely on the
Internet in today's world. It is the ultimate vehicle for bringing people
together, sharing ideas, and creating lasting change for the betterment of
humanity.
However we find this online space, a pinnacle of freedom of speech and the
press, consistently under attack by a select few media monopolies who are
happy to place profit over the public good by killing (or should we more
aptly describe it as assassinating?) net neutrality.
Not satisfied with only controlling the flow of information, these same
monopolies routinely violate YOUR right to privacy and make billions of
dollars profiting from YOUR data.
Then, as if to salt the wound, they refuse to pay their fair share in
taxes.
A democracy only works when the people are well-informed. These
conglomerates are not just undermining our rights as individuals; they are
undermining the foundation of our entire political system through
censorship and preferential treatment.
All data should be equal. We need net neutrality.
As we've seen in the wake of our Twitter account being suspended, it only
takes one second (or even less) to silence a movement.
SO I HAVE A FAVOR TO ASK OF YOU.
Our campaign is making waves and we are far from finished playing offense.
With your help, we've been able to get on the ballot in over half of the
states for the election this year. While this is a momentous occasion, we
can't afford to rest on our laurels.
We will not stop until we see Green representation on every ballot in every
state. Progressives are tired of empty promises and blatant hypocrisy from
those who are expected to be leading this country.
We NEED to be honest with ourselves as a country.
Climate change is getting worse. Grotesque inequality is getting worse. The
New Nuclear Arms Race is driving us closer to catastrophe and our current
President could not seem to care less.
This is only just beginning and we will not stop. However, we can only
stay in this fight with YOUR help.
Fortunately, there are several ways that you can contribute to our success.
You can donate to the Howie 2020 campaign by clicking here [4].
Every donation helps us continue to advance an Ecosocialist Green New Deal
that is specifically designed to solve the greatest threats of our time. We
are doing this without selling out to millionaires and billionaires who are
always happy to "own" any political movement that they can add to their
collection.
If we are going to stand toe-to-toe with these powers, we can only do so
with YOUR support.
Follow us on social media for all of the latest updates. We are on Facebook
[5], Twitter [6], and Instagram [7].
Subscribe and enable notifications on Howie's Youtube Channel [8] so that
you don't miss a single stream. Howie regularly goes live every Tuesday at
8pm Eastern and is ready to answer YOUR questions!
Show your support with the official Howie 2020 merchandise available in the
campaign shop [9].
Together we can do this.
Together we can preserve net neutrality and freedom of speech.
Together we can #BuildToWin
Let's make #EcoSocialism happen!
