Hundreds of companies have already dumped Facebook ads until the platform
cleans up its hate speech problem, doing critical damage to Facebook's
bottom line.
Now we can join too! If millions tell Facebook we're boycotting ads and
download an ad blocker, we can create a new wave of pressure and force
Facebook's hand. Help stop the hate:

John,
Facebook is reeling as corporate giants — from Coke to Ford to Starbucks —
suspend their ads on the platform until it cleans up hate speech.
Ads bring Facebook 99% of its income, so this boycott is hitting where it
hurts — and now we can join in, too.
If millions of people say we won’t let Facebook show us any ads until they
clean up the hate -- and download a simple, free adblocker -- we can
generate a new people-powered media wave and double the pressure on
Facebook to act.

#BlockTheAds until Facebook gets in line:
[ [link removed] ]Yes, I’ll join the Facebook ad boycott
It’s high time Facebook cleans itself up — it’s loaded with pages
promoting white supremacy, misogyny and more, and Facebook simply refuses
to step up and police it.
Already 800 companies have joined the boycott, pulling millions of dollars
of income from Facebook.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg is on the back foot, holding public employee meetings,
sending his policy chief on TV to do damage control, and even agreeing to
meet with the coalition leading the boycott effort.
But he’s also saying he bets advertisers will be back “soon enough”. We
need to add the pressure right NOW, with millions of users joining in to
choke Facebook’s business model until they stop benefitting from hate. And
we don't have to block ALL sites -- we can adjust the settings to just
block Facebook, so the companies helping push Facebook can still receive
ad revenue elsewhere.
It’s within our power to force Facebook to change. Let’s capitalize on the
energy created by the business boycott, and start one of our own -- tell
Facebook you're not helping them get rich off hate:

Our community fights every day to hold big corporations accountable. Now
we have hundreds of companies doing the right thing — let’s show them
support, and do our own part to change Facebook for good.
