Dear Jack,

[ [link removed] ]Tell Fortune Magazine:
Stop normalizing hate.
Disinvite Kirstjen Nielsen

A celebration of powerful women should not include a woman known as the
architect of baby jails.

But according to Fortune, Kirstjen Nielsen is a woman who should be
celebrated and allowed to share the stage with leaders like Anita Hill and
Hillary Clinton.

Fortune's Most Powerful Women convening, which will happen later this
month in Washington, includes former DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen who
carried out the Trump administration's family separation policy. She
traumatized thousands of immigrant children and families and resigned in
disgrace this spring. But now Fortune is giving her a platform to
rehabilitate her image and legitimize her crimes. We can't let that happen
without a fight.

Nielsen was in charge of Trump's rogue deportation force. She withdrew the
legal status for nearly 300,000 people from Honduras, El Salvador and
elsewhere who had been living peacefully in the United States for
decades.^1 She sanctioned mass deportation trials for asylum seekers and
others crossing the border.^2 And she clearly planned to continue the
Trump regime's violent escalation of anti-immigrant policies, punishing
asylum seekers, criminally charging all undocumented immigrants and
ramping up the mass incarceration of immigrants along the border if she
hadn't resigned.^3

This much hate should not be given a platform and no one should help
legitimize the idea that doing the morally corrupt bidding of a bigot like
Trump makes a woman powerful. Appearing on a stage with Clinton, Hill and
other women who are making positive change in our communities will help
Nielsen line her own pockets and sanitize her image.

We have to speak out now to make sure Forbes understands that a corporate
media makeover for someone who helped promote fascist hatred is
unacceptable and cannot stand. Massive pressure on Forbes will also send a
powerful warning to other corporations that rehabilitation of Trump
loyalists will have real consequences. Can you add your name today?
