John,
<p>As I predicted, CitizenGO has already been hit with our first censorship attack.</p> <p><strong>Just a couple of weeks ago, CitizenGO was informed that our account with TransferWise (the biggest financial tech company specialized in international wire transfers) was terminated. When we demanded to know why we were told that it was not because we were in violation of any law or code of conduct -- it was simply because they would not support our activities.</strong></p> <p>They have blatantly shut us down for impactfully representing pro-life and pro-family voices.</p> <p>CitizenGO used TransferWise to move donations from all over the world to wherever they were needed. Until we find a replacement, our work will be affected.</p> <p>And I know this is just the first shot of the war.</p> <p>We have to fight them. We have to find alternatives to them.</p> <p><strong>But most importantly, we must continue the work that has put a target on our back.</strong></p> <p>That’s why I’m counting on your contribution today to help us build a war-chest to fight Big Tech censorship:</p>
I will donate $5 <[link removed]>
I will donate $15 <[link removed]>
I will donate $40 <[link removed]>
I will donate $80 <[link removed]>
I will donate $150 <[link removed]>

Here's the email we sent you earlier on this:
Dear John,
<p>Big Tech has made itself an integral part of how we gather together, especially during the Coronavirus pandemic.</p> <p><strong>Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Google, Apple, Amazon, Pinterest, and dozens of lesser-known companies control how we meet, talk, buy and sell. And every day, they shut down another voice for having a "wrong opinion."</strong></p> <p>And most of the silenced voices are like you and me, believing in the life of the unborn, the natural family, moral values and freedom of speech.</p> <p><strong>As I predicted, CitizenGO has now been hit with our first attack (by the largest fintech specialized in bank wire transfers). I fear there will be more, especially since CitizenGO will not cower or shut up, but will continue to stand proudly to give a voice to the voiceless.</strong></p> <p>I have taken action to make the first attack only a manageable problem (I will explain more in a moment), but today I ask you for a special favor...</p> <p>Please make a special, emergency donation to CitizenGO so that we can build a war-chest to survive and fight back when more Big Tech leftists attack CitizenGO:</p>

<p><strong>Let’s face the facts -- Big Tech is on a worldwide crusade to censor people like you and me.</strong></p> <p>The most obvious attack is to steal our voice.</p> <p>Amazon, Google, and Apple conspired to bring down the conservative-leaning social media app Parler.</p> <p>Donald Trump was banned from Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.</p> <p>The rising pro-life conservative party in Spain, VOX, was banned from Twitter during the electoral campaign.</p> <p><strong>The U.S. pro-family National Organization for Marriage was stripped of its online fundraising portal.</strong></p> <p><em>I could go on and on.</em></p> <p>But the deadlier, more silent blows are already coming.</p> <p><strong>Just as Big Tech seeks to keep us from reaching you, they are aiming to keep you from reaching us with your vital support.</strong></p> <p><strong>Just 10 days ago, CitizenGO was informed that our account with TransferWise (the biggest financial technology company specialized in wire transfers) was terminated. </strong>When we demanded to know why we were told that it was not because we were in violation of any law or code of conduct -- <strong>it was simply because they would not support our activities.</strong> These were their own words:</p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>“Please, note that this is our final decision… However, note that the fact that we cannot offer our services does not imply that we consider your activities illegal or illegitimate, it’s only that the nature of such activities is something we cannot support”</em></p> <p>They just recognized that they have shut us down for impactfully representing pro-life and pro-family voices. </p> <p>For several years, we have been using TransferWise to move donations from all over the world to wherever they were needed. Until we find a replacement, our work will be affected. </p> <p>And I know this is just the first shot of the war.</p> <p>With the growing effectiveness of CitizenGO in exposing the culture of death, transgender madness, and indoctrination of children in gender ideology, the next attack could come at any time.</p> <p><strong>It’s clear that those Radical Leftists infiltrated in the leadership team at these Big Tech conglomerates seem to think they can use their oligarch control of online interactions to do as they please.</strong></p> <p>We have to fight them. We have to find alternatives to them.</p> <p>But most importantly, we must continue the work that has put a target on our back.</p> <p>That’s why your contribution today is more important than ever:</p>

<p>Right now, the primary social media platforms are some of CitizenGO's most valuable advocacy tools, with our followers sharing our campaigns daily -- and this is what drew the attention of TransferWise.</p> <p>Our allies and CitizenGO have leveraged our over 15 million members and supporters to launch impactful campaigns defending life, family, and freedom, including:</p> <ul> <li>Defending our own U.K. campaigner, Caroline Farrow, from malicious, unfounded lawsuits that sought to jail her for standing up for traditional family values;</li> <li>A tidal wave of petition campaigns that were instrumental in a recent decision ultimately banning eugenic abortion in Poland;</li> <li>Standing up to corporate behemoths like Disney and Netflix who insist on promoting anti-Christian and LGBTQ ideology, even to very young children;</li> <li>Exposing UN lobbyists who tried to force pro-life governments in Africa to support abortion or lose critical aid; and</li> <li>Saving baby Tafida from heartless bureaucrats who sought to apply euthanasia and deny her life-saving medical care.</li> <li>Standing up against the anti-family and anti-life agenda pushed by Joe Biden.<br /></li> </ul> <p>And these campaigns are only a small part of what our online presence has helped us accomplish.</p> <p>With so much at stake, I will not quietly cower and hope to be allowed to speak.</p> <p>That’s because I know these tech giants are not as invincible as they’d like us to believe. And with a plan and a war-chest to find alternatives, I know CitizenGO can withstand any attack or pressure campaign.</p> <p>If you and I stand up to the Big Tech bullies, we can show them they will lose popular support, AND they will also lose billions in profits and suffer legal penalties.</p> <p>This is something no CEO likes to tell their stockholders.</p> <p>So please send in your most generous contribution today to help CitizenGO prepare for the fight against Big Tech censorship. We know this will be an uphill battle and we have to resist. Our freedom is at stake.</p> <p>As Founding Father Benjamin Franklin said: </p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>“We must all hang together, or most assuredly, we will all hang separately.”</em></p> <p>George Soros, the global Radical Socialists at the United Nations, and Big Tech are determined to shut us up... and to destroy the values we know are core human values -- life, family, and freedom.</p> <p>I will not back down, and I am counting on you and CitizenGOers around the world to stand with me and against the arrogance of Big Tech and the Left.</p> <p>Please make your contribution today:</p>
