We cannot deny that the domestic terrorism in Texas and Ohio & the ICE raids in Mississippi can all be sourced to white supremacy and dangerous rhetoric that expresses the “need” to “protect” whiteness.
Now is not the time to be silent or numb WHICH IS WHY WE’RE PARTNERING WITH NOWTHIS TO GET THE MESSAGE OUT. CHECK OUT THE VIDEO HERE AND Join US in taking action to #EndWhiteSupremacy in all of its manifestations.
action one: PETITION
As we approach the two-year anniversary of the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, it’s important to take stock of what online platforms have done — or haven’t done — to stop the spread of white supremacy.
Twitter has allowed white supremacists to run rampant on its platform, and enabled them to organize real-world events centered on their hateful ideology and publicize their acts of violence. The company’s failure to stand strong against white supremacists is putting people of color, immigrants, religious minorities, LGBTQIA+ people and women — common targets of organized online hate — in danger.
Tell Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey to #StopRacistTwitter by banning white supremacists and adopting the Change the Terms coalition’s model policies and terms of service.
action two: DONATE
