With 5 million members and a multi-million dollar lobbying empire, the US gun lobby, the NRA, is holding meaningful gun reform hostage in the US political system. Meanwhile, the lobby’s communications arm, NRATV, is spreading fake news and conspiracy theories online.

NRATV is a powerful mouthpiece for an organization whose CEO claims that owning a gun is a right “granted by God to all Americans as our American birthright.” And it’s being broadcast by some of the biggest names in tech: Amazon, Apple TV, and Roku.

As the NRA doubles down on its defense of the “right” to own military-grade assault rifles despite the pleading of survivors of multiple school shootings, some are calling on tech companies to stop hosting NRATV. That’s why we’re demanding Amazon, Apple TV, and Roku stop spreading the NRA’s harmful rhetoric through their streaming services.

It’s time Amazon, Apple, and Roku stop broadcasting NRATV’s alternate reality. Despite their talking points, it’s clearer than ever that the NRA doesn’t speak for the average American: a 2018 poll showed 66% of Americans supported a ban on assault weapons.

We know we have the power to pressure companies to cut ties with the NRA -- three Enterprise rental car brands already ended their discount program from NRA members in the wake of the Parkland shooting. But it’s up to us to make sure our voices speak louder than NRATV’s conspiracy theories. That’s why we’re calling on Amazon, Apple TV, and Roku to drop NRATV from their streaming services.
