The Issue

In the few days since the transfer of power, Elon Musk’s Twitter has seen a rise in hate speech. Our enshrined right to Freedom of Speech is directly associated with our right to criticize the government. Businesses have a right to refuse individuals and organizations the right to spew hate speech. The two are not the same. We are on a precipice of morality that will decide if we will let hate win. Demand that the advertisers on Twitter demand that hate speech have no place on the platform. We are asking that a formal condemnation against hate speech on Twitter and a determination on if your company should continue to advertise on that platform.

Update: Due to the decision to lift the ban on Donald Trump. It is imperative that advertisers make a decision on where they stand. Will they be on the right side of history?
