"What could Facebook do with its $70 Billion in ad revenue? Could they protect and support Black users? Could they call out Holocaust Denial as hate? They absolutely could. But they are actively choosing not to. Join us. Tell Facebook it's time to #StopHateForProfit"

Facebook has repeatedly failed to regulate the spread of false information on its platform. On June 17, 2020 six organizations announced a new campaign, #StopHateforProfit, that asks large Facebook advertisers to show they will not support a company that puts profit over safety. ADL (the Anti-Defamation League), the NAACP, Sleeping Giants, Color Of Change, Free Press and Common Sense have created a coalition of the nation’s most storied civil rights organizations calling for some of the world’s largest corporations to pause advertising on Facebook during the month of July 2020.

Today, we stand in solidarity with Black and Brown communities across the country, and join the call for immediate accountability, justice, and action to dismantle systemic racism in America." -ADL
