Friend,
Two weeks ago, we raised the alarm about the Trump campaign using
ads with Nazi imagery — and for the first time ever, Facebook took
down ads by Trump for violating their policy on hate.
Now there’s a groundswell of pressure building on Facebook
and other tech platforms to do more to combat bigotry and
disinformation.
We put together a brand new video to give you the
full picture of how Trump’s Nazi ads came down and what Facebook must
do next to make its platform safe for all of us. Watch it now:
The mounting pressure from organizers, community groups, and
corporations is working, and we must keep it up.
“Almost a third of advertisers are considering joining a
month-long boycott of Facebook” as a result of the Stop Hate
for Profit campaign organized by partners, including our friends at
Color Of Change.1
An exposé by the Washington Post revealed
Facebook’s VP of Global Public Policy, Joel Kaplan, continues to get
in the way of necessary changes to the platform — making the demand
for his firing more important than ever.2
Now
you can watch our new video and add your name to the petition
“Facebook: Take Trump's racism as seriously as his Nazi
ads.”
Thanks for all you do,
The Bend the Arc team
P.S. Read more about why we launched this campaign and how we
secured this historic win from Facebook on

accommodated him.
