Now in its 10th year, the Dirty Dozen List is the scorecard no company, government agency, or organization wants to be on. They’re names you know. For some, their inclusion on the list may surprise you. For others, not at all. Since its inception in 2013, the list has motivated thousands of people nationwide to call on corporations, agencies, and organizations to change laws, policies, and behaviors that result in the victimization of the most vulnerable among us. The list — and the national campaign behind it — has brought major victories against Google, Netflix, Amazon, Hilton Worldwide, Verizon, Walmart, the US Department of Defense, and many more. Here’s just one example of how your support has made a monumental impact: Once known as a “hunting ground for predators,” the wildly popular short-form video app TikTok has improved behavior by fighting sexual exploitation and abuse on their platform. But it only happened after the company was called out on our Dirty Dozen List. Since then, TikTok has instituted a series of significant changes that, in many areas, has become a good example for their industry by fighting for online child safety. You can discover more about these changes and other victories here. As you can see, when we stand together and refuse to back down, we really can change policies, attitudes, and behavior! Please give now. Any gift received by the 2022 Dirty Dozen List reveal date of Tuesday, March 8, will be DOUBLED, up to $50,000, by the Matching Grant. Thank you in advance for your generosity! |
