Hey John,
This week, Google, Verizon, and Hulu refused to run our video ad with Priorities USA calling out Trump for sanctioning police and military violence against protestors.
Trump used similar imagery in a similar ad demonizing protestors and has not been censored.
Once again, huge tech corporations have chosen to silence Black voices while amplifying white nationalists. This is exactly why Black-led digital ads programs like ours are needed to combat this hateful messaging and make sure voters hear the truth.
John, we’re not going to let big tech corporations silence us, but we need people like you to stand with us. Here’s how you can take action:

Let’s be honest: many Americans are disillusioned with our political system right now.
We’re in the midst of a pandemic that has disproportionately killed Black and brown people due to the government’s failure to provide adequate medical care. Minimal government financial support has pressured low-income people to risk their lives to return to work despite the ongoing pandemic. And police violence against Black people and protestors continues, egged on by our president.
This is exactly why we need to reach Black voters as soon as possible.
We need to show people that we understand their struggles, and help them see why even if we are disillusioned, we must vote to get rid of politicians that intensify the harms of white supremacy, and elect leaders that will work to ensure our safety and protect our rights. Voting is not the only tactic we need, but it is one way to build the power we need to move towards liberation.
Big tech companies are attempting to silence us, but we won’t back down. We’re going to run ads inspiring Black voters and exposing the truth about Trump all the way through November 4th. Join us and donate in these last 100 days until Election Day!
Until justice is real,
