Many MNers will have heard of Breitbart, the ultra right wing "news" site. Companies that advertise with them fund them - but some companies don't know they advertise with them as it's part of a "package", and some don't care.
UK companies may be even less aware that they advertise with them (I clearly shocked one smaller retailer yesterday by telling them!) but Amazon US and Amazon UK are refusing to answer questions about this.
You'll need a Twitter account for this (but they are easy to set up) and as a lot of us know companies REALLY pay attention when customers tweet them.
So if you go here:
www.wall-of-us.org/weekly-acts-of-resistance/2017/1/29/action-3-stop-the-loose-bannon
you can do this two ways, both explained on the Wall of Us site.
Via AdStrike where they will prepare the tweet for you and it will target one of the companies that isn't listening (usually US companies)
Or directly to the BB site (sorry but you have to click on it, just close your eyes a bit! News is on the left side and ads on the right) where you will find some of the UK companies that may not know they are on there - and Amazon UK that is also ignoring the campaign.
