In short: <span style="text-decoration: underline;">we won.</span></strong></p><p>Quick wins like this are rare, but they happen when a community is able to come together at a moment's notice and put strategic pressure on a company or politician. Collectively, we tweeted @Indiegogo thousands of times and flooded their Facebook wall. Everywhere Indiegogo employees and executives looked, they saw our message: that they shouldn't enable Michael Slager to profit in the aftermath of murdering Walter Scott. And that they shouldn't perpetuate a toxic culture that roots for and supports illegal police conduct while criminalizing Black victims, and justifying their killings.</p><p><strong>We’re currently in talks with Indiegogo and will be meeting CEO Slava Rubin soon to discuss the company’s policies. </strong>We want to ensure that the next time a hurtful and hateful fundraiser like this is started on their platform, that it’s taken down immediately without any hesitation or delay. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">That’s why we need you to speak up again.</span></p><p><strong><a href="http://act.colorofchange.org/sign/indiegogo_next/?t=4&akid=4283.1786324._khJqq">Tell Indiegogo to officially change its policy. No one should ever be able to use their platform to profit from such horrendous actions.</a></strong> </p><p>We’ll take your signatures and comments into the meeting with the CEO. We’ll bring the voices and power of the ColorOfChange community into the room with us. <a href="http://act.colorofchange.org/sign/indiegogo_next/?t=5&akid=4283.1786324._khJqq">Add your name.</a></p><p>Thanks and peace,</p><p>—Arisha, Rashad, Matt, and Bhavik for the ColorOfChange team</p><img src="http://act.colorofchange.org/o.gif?akid=4283.1786324._khJqq">
