Fellow American,

We knew it was just a matter of time before another woke company canceled us... but we didn't see this one coming.

A few weeks ago, we received an unexpected email from Front, the company that manages all inbound and outbound email for the team here at the Babylon Bee, informing us that they had terminated our account, effective immediately.

Sure enough, moments later, we were unable to send or receive email.

For weeks afterwards, our team scrambled. We’re a company spread across multiple cities, so email is essential to our operation. Needless to say, this one hurt. Front decided to drop the bomb on us in whatever way would disrupt us the most, and they succeeded.

But why would they do such a thing?

By now, I'm sure you have a good guess.

It probably comes as no surprise that Front is run by a group of woke, left-wing tech elitists. Just like Twitter, Facebook, The New York Times, Snopes, and the many other companies that have attacked us, they simply can’t abide satire that dares to mock their left-wing orthodoxy.

So they orchestrated their attack to do the most damage they possibly could.

We’ve been through attacks like this before, and we know that there are more coming — which is why I'm reaching out to free speech-loving friends like you who value good satire, asking you to become a paid subscriber of the Babylon Bee today.

For years now, we’ve been building our support base in an effort to become “cancel-proof” — so that radical companies like Front can't pull the rug out from under us like this.

We've come a long way, but as this episode proved, we're still vulnerable.

You can help with your subscription today. And remember — you won’t just be standing with the Bee; you’ll be standing up for free speech of all kinds online, and showing left-wing elitists that they can try to censor free thinkers like us, but the truth will always win out.

If you're familiar with the Babylon Bee, you know that we're no strangers to this sort of treatment. We've been canceled, censored, shadow-banned, locked out, and kicked off by more left-wing operations than I can count, for no other reason than that the woke just can’t take a joke.

As a matter of fact, we've been locked out of our Twitter account for the past three months because we refuse to delete our satirical post honoring transgender Biden appointee Dr. Rachel Levine as our “Man of the Year.”

But thanks to our network of subscribers, we can weather these storms better than ever before. Thanks to thousands of friends just like you who see the value of investing in free speech and good satire, we're still pushing forward.

But today, I'm asking you to join us. If you've been on the fence, now really is the time. Don't wait until our next cancellation. Please help us build resiliency today by becoming a subscriber.

Our goal is quite simple: to become the Obi Wan Kenobi of the digital world.

To paraphrase the great sage himself, with friends like you united behind us, the woke tech elites can’t win. They can try to strike us down, but we will become more powerful than they could possibly imagine.

Join the rebellion today.

Sincerely,

Seth Dillon

CEO

The Babylon Bee
