John,
When Donald Trump was banned from Twitter in the aftermath of January 6th, it was done under Twitter's "Glorification of Violence policy", which determined he should be permanently suspended from the service for tweets that incite violence.
Now that Elon Musk has taken over the platform, we must be proactive in making sure Trump does not regain access to a massive microphone to call for more violence.
Tell Elon Musk to protect democracy, we must limit Trump’s reach in every way possible. Follow Twitter’s existing community guidelines and keep Donald Trump off of Twitter for good.
Trump is still a clear and present danger to America. Not only did he use Twitter to bring together MAGA Republicans and foment violence on January 6th, he rallied his supporters to storm the Capitol and continues to claim he won in a landslide.
On his own platform, Truth Social, Trump is still promoting the Big Lie, sharing this image with his followers that says "The Illegitimate Biden Regime will be brought to its knees".
Donald Trump was removed from Twitter for posts like the one above because they undermine free and fair elections and incite violence.
He has continued to do so in his own echo chamber and will only feel emboldened to spread more lies that glorify violence should he regain a massive platform.
With a growing number of partners joining our call to demand that Elon Musk keep Trump off of Twitter, momentum is building.
Let’s make sure that Elon Musk and his entire team at Twitter know that the American people want him to stand up for democracy and hold Donald Trump accountable for rallying his supporters to storm the Capitol in an attempt to violently overturn the results of the election. Add your name now >>
