This is a great, free service that is making a difference defunding many of the worst false information providers on the internet. Just sign up and they send you emails once a week or so on the latest campaign to defund a right wing propaganda outlet. Really simple, now you just click a link in the email and it puts that email together for you so all you have to do is add your name and press send. I highly encourage you to sign up for their campaigns.

#RightWingPropaganda"HERE'S THE PROBLEM
Advertisers don't place ads on the internet themselves. They use ad exchanges — technology companies that run ads for them.Ad exchanges don't work with just anyone. They choose which websites to work with and which ones to drop. They have standards to protect advertisers from funding violence. This is so important to advertisers that they have it written into their contracts.
When Fox News promoted the January 6th insurrection, it was violent. We all saw it — but ad exchange executives pretended it didn't happen.
Since then, Fox News has just gotten worse.
So here's the plan: we need to tell ad exchanges to block their ads from FoxNews.com now.
Tell ad exchanges:
STOP FUNDING THE INSURRECTIONISTS
1. Sign up for action emails
