Amazon Smile is a program started by Amazon to support charity organizations by granting them 0.5% of the cost of purchases made by users.  The program is monitored by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) to prevent hate groups from receiving donations.  Amazon has stated that, to prevent bias, it does not intend to interfere with its monitoring process, but will continue to ban the organizations classified by the SPLC as "hate groups".

However, it has become increasingly clear that the SPLC is unable to properly carry out its duties.  Organizations such as the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), and the Islamic Center of Jersey City (ICJC), and several branches of the Nation of Islam (NI) have all made quite known their attitudes against the Jewish people.  As the consumers of Amazon, we demand that these organizations, as well as organizations which have made similar statements, be barred from participation in the program.

In 2009, a United States federal court ruling by Judge Jorge Solis found that there is "ample evidence to establish the association" between ISNA and Hamas, which is classified as a terrorist organization.

On December 14, 2017, the imam of the ICJC, Sheikh Aymen Elkasaby, referred to the Jewish people as "apes and pigs" from his pulpit, requesting the help of Allah in "killing them down to the very last one".

The NI is recognized as anti-Semitic by both the ADL and the SPLC, the very group responsible for monitoring the groups on Amazon Smile.

Amazon Smile was created to promote charitable organizations, and by supporting organizations which have been proven to support terrorism or have vocally promoted the hatred of the Jewish people, we believe it is undermining this goal.  Amazon's spokesperson, asked for comment on the SPLC's bias, refused to confirm that the SPLC was not handling their duties in an unbiased way.  Therefore, in an effort to promote the true charitable motives behind Amazon Smile, call for the following changes:

1. The Islamic Center of Jersey City, Islamic Society of North America, and all affiliates of the Nation of Islam, to be barred from receiving any money from the Amazon Smile program;

2. Amazon to immediately begin barring organizations from participation with Amazon Smile based on the SPLC's list of recognized anti-Semitic organizations as well as their list of "hate groups".

3. Amazon to conduct a review into the bias of the SPLC to ensure that it is exercising powers relating to Amazon Smile in a responsible manner, a review whose results should be made public

Please sign this petition to help us expose the aforementioned organizations which are very obviously promoting hatred towards groups of people on the basis of ethnicity and/or religion, and prevent them from receiving charitable donations from Amazon Smile.
