Dear friend, 

What happened in Charlottesville is an act of terrorism - pure and simple. And one all too familiar in our country’s history. I can imagine we all watched Charlottesville with a mixture of emotion : heartbroken for the people who were injured or killed fighting for justice, disgusted at an administration that refuses to condemn the menace of White nationalism, and outraged as scenes unfolded that remain an ongoing part of our nation’s story.

Help us hit back at white supremacists where it hurts most, their wallets.

Join us in calling on corporations to pick a side : people or hate.When we say pick a side, we’re talking to Visa, MasterCard, Amazon and other companies and online platforms working with violent white supremacist groups. They’re providing financial support for people like white nationalist Richard Spencer, who twice this year has led a torch-wielding violent mob chanting racist slogans in Charlottesville, Virginia.²Over the last six months, we’ve reached out to all of these companies. We have been in dialogue with these companies, have taken your concerns to them directly, and given them more than enough chances to come clean and cut their ties with hate groups - including the hate groups that radicalized terrorists like Dylann Roof, Timothy McVeigh, Wade Michael Page and Anders Behring Breivik. It’s clear that we need to take this fight to the next level. And we need your help to do it.

Chip in $3 to stop corporate funders of hate groups!

We’re holding corporate enablers accountable by :

• Launching a series of ads and billboards targeted at credit card companies calling on them to block white nationalists sites from using their card.
• Going after individual white nationalist trolls like the ones we saw converge on Charlottesville and making it significantly harder for them to have a public soapbox to garner funding online.
• Deploying a number of high-pressure tactics aimed at ensuring corporations immediately sever business ties to Donald Trump and his family members.

White extremist groups have committed more than 70 percent of the violent extremist crimes resulting in death since 9/11.³Members of Stormfront, the notorious white supremacist hate site, have been disproportionately responsible for some of the most lethal hate crimes and mass killings since the site was put up in 1995. In the past decade alone, Stormfront members have murdered close to 100 people.⁴ Stormfront is able to fund itself by bringing in thousands of dollars in online donations every month thanks to credit card companies and platforms that give them free advertising every day.

It is time to up the stakes for these Neo Nazis and their corporate backers. You joined with us to call on major social media platforms to kick off the hateful individuals who have been using their platform to organize violence in our communities. Together, we asked the media to stop dressing up domestic terrorism with terms like “alt-right.” And collectively we asked credit card companies to stop allowing their cards to be used on sites that openly advocate for murder in our communities. We're continuing to see cracks in their walls, and now is the time to go harder.

Stop corporate funders of hate groups. Together, we can do this.

Until justice is real,
