Breitbart, the extreme far-right website that helped get Trump elected is trying to expand globally. But a people-powered campaign can stop them.

Already 800+ companies have ditched Breitbart -- let's get Costco to join them.

Costco: pull your advertisements from the website.

Ann,

Breitbart is the extreme far-right website that helped get Trump elected -- and now its former CEO is the most powerful unelected person in the White House. Breitbart is vying for a massive global expansion into France, Germany and Italy in time for key elections.

But Breitbart can't expand without money from advertisers.

Because of people like you, Kelloggs, BMW and AT&T are among the 800+ companies have already pulled ads from the website. Now it's Costco's turn.

Tell Costco stop investing in hate. Pull your ads from Breitbart<https://act.sumofus.org/go/351847?t=2&akid=27320.42337.ANJM4W>

Breitbart spews hate against women, LGBTQ+ people, Muslims and people of colour. Together, we can show corporations that this brand of bigotry is bad for business.

There is a massive grassroots campaign that is gaining traction everyday through social media. Already, over 800 companies have pulled their advertising from Breitbart with dedicated work from Sleeping Giants and SumOfUs members. Together, we can add Costco to the list.

Will you join the movement to stop Trump's brand of hatred from spreading?

Sign today to pressure Costco to pull its advertisements from Breitbart.<https://act.sumofus.org/go/351847?t=3&akid=27320.42337.ANJM4W>

Costco cares about it's customers, shareholders and it's public brand. Let's make sure it does the right thing now.

Thanks for all that you do,

Emma and the team at SumOfUs
