Dear John,
Alex Jones made his name—and big profits—by peddling far-right conspiracies and white supremacist bigotry on his InfoWars website, talk shows, and selling consumer products. He personally "helped jumpstart" and spoke at the January 6 rally that led to the attack on the Capitol.1 Now, he’s further profiting off his malicious brand by selling merchandise and dietary supplements on Amazon. As one of the largest online retailers in the world, Amazon is aiding and abetting this bigotry and profiting off it by hosting Alex Jones’ online storefront and carrying his merchandise. So today, we’re demanding that Amazon ban all Alex Jones/InfoWars items from their site.
Will you sign this petition now calling on Amazon to pull all Alex Jones’ InfoWars products off their site?

Facebook, Apple, YouTube, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, Spotify and even PayPal have already banned Alex Jones from their platforms2 for hate-speech violations. Jones has been described by the Anti-Defamation League as “spreading violent, bigoted conspiracy theories” and was an integral player in the January 6 insurrection. And yet, Amazon seems perfectly comfortable with taking their 15% cut off his dietary supplements and profiting off his bigotry. We MUST put pressure on Amazon to ban him and show that hate will not be tolerated.

Thanks for all you do,
