Scores of people outraged by the Trump administration’s discriminatory ban on Muslims have shared passionate and often heartbreaking stories on social media platforms like Facebook.
However, what they may not realize is Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is complicit in the pain and suffering of Muslims worldwide.
Zuckerberg has allowed Peter Thiel, billionaire and co-founder of Paypal, to continue to hold court on Facebook’s board of directors. Thiel has voiced his support of the travel ban on Muslims, and has been an outspoken supporter of the Trump administration. Concerned citizens have repeatedly called on Zuckerberg to remove him, and to take a stand against religious bias. He has refused.
Demand that Mark Zuckerberg denounce Thiel’s support of xenophobia and remove him from Facebook's board of directors.
As recently as October, Zuckerberg has voiced his support for Thiel; citing that he values diversity. Yet, Thiel donated $1.25 million to support a presidential agenda set on using racism, sexism, and xenophobia as a basis to discriminate against people.
It is time for Facebook to take a definitive stance, and say no to hate.
Show the world that you do not support the human and civil rights violations that Peter Thiel has shamelessly promoted.
Sign the petition and challenge Mark Zuckerberg to reject injustice. Immediately remove Peter Thiel from Facebook’s board of directors.
