John,

Just as our billboard in Times Square calling out Goldman Sachs Gives as one of the top corporate charities that have funneled more than $24.5 million to white supremacist groups started gaining national attention, companies started refusing to run our ad…simply because it directly names Goldman Sachs.

It happened in Salt Lake City, then Dallas — two of Goldman Sachs' core strategic hubs. But we are not backing down. If billboard companies want to censor us for exposing the corporations trying to take us back to Jim Crow, then we’ll find another way. But these new roadblocks come with real costs — increased travel expenses, higher ad costs, legal review, and rapid-response organizing to keep this campaign moving in city after city. Can you rush a donation to help us keep up the pressure?

Here’s the background: after we called out Goldman Sachs Gives publicly for giving major funding to far-right groups backing Stephen Miller’s coordinated attack on DEI and the Voting Rights Act, it immediately tried to dodge responsibility. It claimed it has no control over where the money goes and that Donald Trump forced its hand on DEI.

That excuse doesn’t hold up. Goldman has cut off funding before when recipients conflicted with its values. It knows how to act. It’s choosing not to — instead supporting the people dismantling civil rights protections, gutting voting rights, and dragging this country backward.

That’s why we decided to ramp up the pressure by putting our billboard in the middle of Times Square. And it’s working. The media is paying attention. Goldman is on the defensive. And now corporations are trying to shut us down.

In Dallas, after we had already signed a contract, the company suddenly informed us of a “new policy” banning ads that directly call out corporations by name — leaving our team scrambling to find another path forward. In Salt Lake City, our vendor went radio silent after we revealed our target, forcing us to go the more expensive route of hiring mobile billboards from Las Vegas and driving them to Salt Lake City just to get our message seen.

We’d say we were surprised, but the truth is right now, powerful corporations are not only funding attacks on civil rights and DEI — they’re also being shielded from public accountability by other corporations afraid to challenge them.

The moment powerful institutions start feeling pressure, the rules suddenly change. It shows our tactics are working — but we need your urgent help to seize this momentum and plaster our message across the country. Can you rush a donation today to help us keep these billboards live and keep the pressure on Goldman Sachs?
