Travel company Priceline.com is running ads on Breitbart News, the right-wing fake news website that helped get Donald Trump elected -- and denigrates minorities while promoting white nationalist ideologies.
Not only is all this ad revenue (from Priceline, Kayak, Booking.com, etc.) sponsoring hate and bigotry, it is helping Breitbart advance a specific goal: opening bureau offices in France, Germany and Italy ahead of crucial 2017 elections. Their aim is to repeat the same disruption and misinformation campaign in Europe that helped Trump get elected in the U.S.
But we have a secret weapon to stop them: people power. Together, we've already helped get 850 companies to trop Breitbart. If we come together now, we can shut off their ad revenue and stop hate in its tracks.
