Imagine waking up to the news next month that Donald Trump — who recently dined with prominent white supremacists — is back on Facebook and Instagram to broadcast more hate, violence and lies.

That’s what’s at stake — and it’s why we need to keep fighting to ensure that Meta keeps its Trump ban intact.

We’re working tirelessly to push social-media companies to combat hate and disinformation with real content-moderation policies that keep users safe. Will you make your very first tax-deductible gift to Free Press? Every dollar will go toward our year-end goal of $50,000 and help us fight any attempt to bring Trump back to Facebook and Instagram. A group of generous donors is matching all donations that come in the door through 12/31, so your gift will have double the impact on our organizing:

Free Press and our partners in the Change the Terms coalition have been fighting for years to get tech companies to stop the amplification of hateful, violent, misleading and false content across their platforms.

But if we learned anything from the most recent midterm-election cycle, it’s that platforms are still doing the bare minimum to keep users safe against hate and disinformation. With another presidential election cycle on the horizon, all social-media companies need to step up to protect our democracy and keep disinformation bullhorns like Donald Trump from spreading more dangerous conspiracies, hate and lies.

We’re counting on you to help us sustain this critical work: Make a matched donation to Free Press today to help us keep fighting back.

In solidarity,

The Free Press team

P.S. As Mark Zuckerberg put it, Facebook banned Donald Trump for using the “platform to incite violent insurrection.” Make a matched year-end gift now so we can keep pushing Meta to keep its ban on Trump in place.
