Sign Petition to Amazon: "Stop Supporting Breitbart's Hate"

MoveOn.org
March 11, 2017


A social media campaign called "Sleeping Giants" led more than 1,000 companies to stop advertising on the white nationalist website Breitbart.com.
Virtually every major corporation worldwide has blocked their ads from appearing on Breitbart, but one glaring exception remains: Amazon.

Breitbart is the white nationalist website formerly run by Trump advisor Steve Bannon.
It's racist, sexist, and spreads hate against Muslims.
Breitbart regularly has headlines like "Birth control makes women unattractive and crazy" and "The Confederate flag proclaims a glorious heritage."
It is way outside of the American mainstream, even in these polarizing times.

It's well past time for Amazon to stop supporting hate.
Please ask Amazon to remove their ads from Breitbart.com and adopt a policy to ban advertising on any website that promotes hate.
