John,

Did you know that Google Podcasts is offering a home for conspiracy theories and white supremacy?

Together, let's change that—and fast! We need to protect our democracy from this type of hatred.

Tell Google: Immediately remove white supremacist and Nazi content from Google Podcasts.

In a recent report, the New York Times found more than two dozen podcasts from white supremacists and pro-Nazi groups—none of which are available on other major podcast platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify or Stitcher.

"Google Podcasts is also one of the few remaining homes of Alex Jones, the 'Infowars' broadcaster, who was banned in 2018 from Apple, Spotify and Stitcher for repeated violations of their policies on hate speech and harassment." [1]

At a time when our democracy is under constant attack from misinformation, half-truths, distortions and outright lies, we need to ensure that dangerous hatred is removed from Google Podcasts. It’s not just adults who are accessing this vile hateful content. Increasingly, children are tapping into podcasts to learn about the world around them.

Join CHN and our growing national coalition to demand Google immediately remove white supremacist and Nazi content from Google Podcasts.

According to data from Statista, nearly half of all 13-17 year-olds and roughly one-third of 9-12 year-olds listen to podcasts. [2] While parents may think their child is safe listening to podcasts available on Google Podcasts, they could easily stumble upon white supremacists trying to recruit kids into their hateful ideology.

We must work together to prevent dangerous ideologies from sabotaging our democracy and poisoning the minds of our youth. Thank you for all you do to fight for a better future that includes all of us.
