Dear friends, There's more exciting news today! Our petition has been featured in another article by Vocativ. The article is comprehensive, discussing the outcry from so many people like you, who are asking Squarespace to enforce its own rules against hateful content. The article details how you and many others are taking action with your wallets: canceling your Squarespace accounts and opting for other web hosting platforms that don't cater to hate groups. If you're one of those people, good for you! Please share your story with others. Tweet @Squarespace, @Squarespacehelp, and Squarespace CEO @acasalena to tell them you've chosen to #BoycottSquarespace and take your money elsewhere. Also tell your friends on Facebook. This sort of financial and PR pressure is what gets companies' attention. Lastly, the article reveals that podcasts and @Midroll, which places podcast ads, are aware of Squarespace's hate problem. Some are getting uncomfortable with reading Squarespace's ads. If you have a favorite podcast and you hear them read a Squarespace ad, email them or tweet at them (politely) and ask them to reconsider taking ads from a company that caters to white supremacists. Tweet @Midroll and ask them to stop placing ads for a company that gives white supremacists a special exception to Acceptable Use rules. CC @Squarespace and add the #BoycottSquarespace hashtag. Thank you again for your support. You have been incredible. Keep fighting the fight! - Joe Brown
