Demand that Twitter's CEO Jack Dorsey finally ban
Donald Trump!
[ [link removed][&t=1004fp]_[random]_[kickerstage2]_[button]&akid=42949%2E4731121%2ELDEWHk ]TAKE ACTION
Dear John,
This morning, Donald Trump threatened protestors with death, tweeting
“When the looting starts, the shooting starts.” Yes, you read that right.
Trump is actually advocating for the National Guard to use deadly force
against Americans who are protesting against police killings. And while
Twitter placed a label on the Tweet stating that it was inciting
violence--it's not enough.
How much longer will Twitter let Donald Trump manipulate and misinform
millions, inspire hate crimes, and embolden violent white supremacist
terrorism using Twitter? Enough is enough. Twitter needs to stop
empowering Trump with the tool to spread his hate-filled commands to
millions of people every day.

Dear John,
Trump is adamantly opposed to mail-in elections because it would increase
voter participation,^1 and he’s being powered by Twitter to spread mass
voter misinformation. Trump has always used his Twitter page to spread
lies to his 80 million followers, and during the global crisis his tweets
can reach an increased audience.^2 Last week, he falsely accused the state
of Michigan of illegal voter fraud, calling the Secretary of State rogue
and threatening to withhold funding to the state.^3 Trump’s outlandish
tweets are bound to further endanger the state government which recently
faced armed protesters taking over the state capitol.
It’s time for Twitter to finally kick Trump off Twitter. It was bad enough
when he instigated a nuclear war against North Korea, bullied politicians,
and lied about the impact of coronavirus. Spreading misinformation clearly
violates Twitter’s policies. By allowing him unlimited access to its
platform, Twitter is essentially telling Trump he does not have to follow
any of their rules and he thrives on that. To make matters worse,
elections in many states will rely on the very mail-in ballots that Trump
is falsely tweeting about. His ability to spread mass voter misinformation
on Twitter will only aid his plans of being re-elected. Americans have
suffered enough under the Trump Administration. The global crisis has
exposed more than ever how Trump’s lies throughout the pandemic have led
to countless preventable deaths of Americans, most notably Black people.
It’s time for Twitter to take a real stand for the well-being of the
people that power its platform.
