Amazon + Breitbart

Will you sign and share my petition calling on Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos to adopt a hate speech policy and remove Amazon ads from Breitbart.com?

Dear MoveOn member,

A social media campaign called "Sleeping Giants" led more than 1,000 companies to stop advertising on the white nationalist website Breitbart.com.¹ Virtually every major corporation worldwide has blocked their ads from appearing on Breitbart, but one glaring exception remains: Amazon.

Will you sign and share my petition calling on Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos to adopt a hate speech policy and remove Amazon ads from Breitbart.com?

It's well past time for Amazon to stop supporting hate. Remove Amazon ads from Breitbart.com and adopt a policy to ban advertising on any website that promotes hate.

Breitbart is the white nationalist website formerly run by Trump adviser Steve Bannon. It's racist, sexist, and spreads hate against Muslims. Breitbart regularly has headlines like "Birth control makes women unattractive and crazy" and "The Confederate flag proclaims a glorious heritage." It is way outside of the American mainstream, even in these polarizing times.

It's well past time for Amazon to stop supporting hate. Please ask Amazon to remove their ads from Breitbart.com and adopt a policy to ban advertising on any website that promotes hate.

Click here to add your name to this petition, and then pass it along to your friends.

Thanks!
