[1]Women's March
We’re heartbroken,
John. Last night, a series of
shootings occurred at different massage parlors across the Atlanta area
that left eight people dead. Seven out of the eight victims of the rampage
were women, and at least half were Asian.
Let’s make this clear: this was not a random instance. 3,800 incidents of
anti-Asian violence have been reported in the last year, mainly by Asian
women. Trump's rhetoric has fueled this hatred, and it also comes from a
long history of anti-Asian racism in our country.
On that same night of these tragic attacks, Trump went on Fox News to
repeat his usual racist, anti-Asian rhetoric.

That’s why today we’re launching a rapid-response petition demanding
advertisers to drop Fox news and rise against the racist agenda that Fox
News promotes. [ [link removed] ]Add your name now: If we can get enough advertisers to
quit supporting Fox News, we can pressure Fox News to stop featuring
Trump.

Women of color always bear the greatest risk of men’s violence.
This shooting spree in Atlanta was an intersection of violence against
women and race-based violence that share the same catalyst: white
supremacy. It’s a painful reminder that it’s past time for us to organize
and drive white supremacy out of our country.
One of the most powerful and effective ways we can do that is by holding
accountable one of the worst platforms for racist rhetoric: Fox News.
Trump has been a regular guest on this channel and allowed to spew his
white nationalist talking points on this platform. From the January 6th
attack on the Capitol to last night’s shootings — we’re seeing a rise in
white supremacist violence. This is no coincidence: this is the product of
Trumpism and the platforms that still lift up this messaging.

Asian-American community is abhorrent. Will you sign our petition calling
on Fox advertisers to drop their ads and put pressure on Fox News to stop
giving racists like Trump a platform?
