| We have $2,300 left to raise to hit our new-donor matching gift goal. But this is the last day your first-time gift can be DOUBLED.
We need all the help we can get in the fight against white supremacy online. Donate now to have twice the impact on our fight against online hate.
You may be feeling frustrated that Facebook chose to not take any meaningful action against racism this July. Trust me, we are too. But with 1,100+ companies from Verizon to Ford having called the social media site out publicly, we have dealt Facebook’s reputation a major blow.
And you better believe that we will never give up the fight until white supremacy is banned from Facebook and every major social media site and back into the dark corners of the web.
Free Press and our Change the Terms partners are committed to kicking white supremacy off of Facebook — but we need your help. Donate now while your first gift to Free Press will be DOUBLED to help us keep the pressure on Facebook high.
Before you feel too frustrated by Mark Zuckerberg’s cynical choices, remember: we have momentum on our side! Our recent progress in the fight against online hate has been truly remarkable: - May 29: Twitter flags a racist tweet from Donald Trump as “glorifying violence”
- June 20: Twitter bans prominent British white supremacist Katie Hopkins
- June 29: YouTube bans high-profile racists including David Duke and Richard Spencer
- June 29: Reddit bans hateful subreddits including “r/The_Donald” and posts new rules to fight hate — pulled directly from policies developed with our Change the Terms partners
- June 29: Amazon-owned Twitch temporarily bans Donald Trump for “hateful conduct”
- July 1: The Facebook Ad boycott launches, quickly reaching 1,000 participating companies including Verizon, Honda, Coca-Cola, Target, Levi-Strauss, Ford and Adidas
- July 31: This morning, ex-KKK leader David Duke was permanently suspended from Twitter for repeatedly violating the platform’s rules about "hateful conduct"
Together, we recommit to our demands for real action against online hate.
Are you with us? We have $2,300 left to raise to reach our new-donor matching gift goal — donate now to DOUBLE your impact and show your commitment to the fight against white supremacy online.
Thank you for everything you do, and continue to do, in the fight against online hate.
In solidarity and commitment,
Craig Aaron

P.S. We only have until midnight tonight to reach our new-donor matching gift goal. With Facebook still refusing to take real action against white supremacy, we can’t afford to leave a single dollar of this match on the table. Help us keep the pressure on Facebook high -- donate now to double your impact against racism online.  |
