John,

Yesterday, Facebook-founder Mark Zuckerberg testified on Capitol Hill
about Facebook’s negligence when it comes to bad company policies and
dangerously false advertisements.

Well, Representative Katie Porter didn’t hold back.

She grilled Zuckerberg on how Facebook’s public policies don’t align with
their behavior. If someone’s data is stolen, Facebook doesn’t think
they’re responsible for it.

Katie: “In other words, no harm, no foul. Facebook messed up, but it
doesn’t matter. Is that your position?”

She pointed out how content monitoring employees are forced to watch
gruesome videos of “murders, stabbings, and suicide” but don’t receive
healthcare benefits that would treat PTSD as a result of these videos.

Katie: “[Would you be] willing to commit to spending one hour a day for a
year [doing their job]?”

Mark Zuckerberg said no.

It’s clear we need to keep Katie in Congress to fight back against the
rich and powerful and stick up for everyday Americans. But she’s one of
the most vulnerable members of Congress and the GOP is spending big bucks
to flip her seat red in 2020.

support to fight off the attacks coming her way. Split a donation between
Katie and DFA now to help us keep Katie in Congress.

This isn’t the first time Katie has held those who have misused and abused
their power accountable. Early this year, she basically taught Secretary
of Housing Ben Carson how to do his job:

Katie: “[Can you] explain the disparity in REOs rates? Do you know what an
REO is?”

Ben Carson: “An oreo?”

Yup. He said that. She also grilled a billionaire CEO at JP Morgan over
their gross pay disparity between low-level employees and upper
management:

Katie shared the story of a Californian woman who works full time at
JPMorgan Chase. She makes $2,425 every month. She shares a one-bedroom
apartment with her daughter for $1,600/month. After the woman spends about
$100 on utilities, $400 on a low-level food budget, more on basic
necessities like a cell phone and child care, she is $567 in the red.

Katie: "How should she manage this budget shortfall while she's working
full-time at your bank?"

Billionaire CEO: "I don't know."

Yikes.

Katie is one of the fiercest progressives in Congress and we need her
voice to fight back against the corporate hacks and wealthy special
interests. That’s why we’re asking:

[ [link removed] ]Will you split a donation between DFA and Katie today? Together, we can
take on the GOP and protect Katie’s seat.

Thanks,

Charles
