Alex Jones built Infowars into one of the most dangerous conspiracy platforms in America. For years, he used it to spread lies about the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting — calling the massacre of twenty children and six adults a hoax. Courts found him liable for the harassment and torment his words caused the victims' families and ordered him to pay more than $1 billion in damages. He has spent years refusing to pay, burying the process in bankruptcy filings, appeals, and last-minute legal maneuvers.

Now there is a real opportunity to do something meaningful — not just shut Infowars down, but turn it into something completely different.

The Onion, the long-running satirical news outlet, has proposed a licensing deal that would give them control of the Infowars name, trademarks, and platforms. Their plan is to use that platform to mock the very conspiracy theories Jones made famous, advocate for gun control, and redirect revenue to the Sandy Hook families who have been waiting years for justice. In one move, Jones would lose the megaphone he built — and watch it be used against everything he stood for.

A Texas appeals court blocked that deal on April 30, 2026, granting an emergency motion filed by Jones' lawyers. Another hearing has been set for May 28. Every delay is another day Jones holds onto a brand that has caused immeasurable harm, and another day the Sandy Hook families wait for the courts to make their ruling real.

The legal system has already spoken. Jones lost. The families won. What's left is allowing justice to actually take shape — and this deal is one of the most fitting ways it could. Sign this petition to urge the Texas courts to approve The Onion's takeover of Infowars, silence a platform built on hate and lies, and finally deliver something real to the families of Sandy Hook.
