Right now, Pampers ads are running on the right-wing fake news website Breitbart News.
Why is Procter & Gamble running ads for one of their most famous and beloved brands - cozy photos of smiling infants and cheerful toddlers - next to Breitbart articles ranting about 'child migrants,' and 'illegal immigrant children'? Why are they giving ad revenue to a website synonymous with bigotry and hatred?
The Pampers website claims, "Babies bring out the best in all of us." Unfortunately, as we've seen before, Breitbart brings out the worst.
Time to end this strange partnership. In the past few weeks, people power has convinced more than 850 companies - including Kellogg's, Nordstrom and Zulily - to pull their ads from Breitbart. Together, we can convince Procter & Gamble to do the same, and make the world better for all children.
Tell Procter & Gamble to stop cozying up to bigotry and pull their ads from Breitbart.
Breitbart News has repeatedly published articles with racist and inflammatory language warning about 'pregnant foreigners' giving birth to 'anchor babies', and agitating for the United States to get rid of birthright citizenship to deal with this 'invasion.'
Compare that to Proctor & Gamble's language after the Trump administrations' travel ban:
"For the broader P&G community, we reiterate our unwavering commitment to diversity and inclusion and creating an environment where all people are welcome, all people are valued and all people are respected.”
If Procter & Gamble want to talk the talk, let's make them walk the walk. Over 340,000 SumofUs members have signed petitions pressing companies to end their relationship with Breitbart. The grassroots campaign keeps growing, and the momentum keeps building, so don't stop now - let's keep the pressure on!
Tell Procter & Gamble to stop funding hate speech against children and pull their ads from Breitbart now.
