Activists will be delivering a petition to Google headquarters that has been signed by 400,000+ concerned citizens demanding that the search engine giant dump Trump and not fund the Republican convention.
According to a statement from ColorofChange:
On Thursday local activists will deliver more than 400,000 petition signatures to Google headquarters urging the company not to sponsor the Republican National Convention if Donald Trump is the Republican nominee. As activists deliver the petition, a plane will fly over Google headquarters with a banner that reads “Google: Don’t be evil. #DumpTrump.” The plane will also fly over San Francisco’s Bay Bridge and the Golden Gate Bridge later that day.
The petition delivery event is part of a national campaign led by ColorOfChange calling on major corporations like Google, Microsoft, Coca-Cola and Walmart not to provide a platform for Donald Trump’s hateful rhetoric by sponsoring the Republican National Convention. Progressive and civil rights groups have spearheaded a series of sign-on letters to major corporations that have sponsored the RNC in the past. The New York Times reported that Coca-Cola has already backed away from its 2012 level of support and that other corporations are growing nervous.
Coca-Cola has already withdrawn their funding from the Republican convention, as pressure is growing on corporate sponsors not to fund a Republican convention that is headlined by Donald Trump. Corporations fund the political conventions of both parties through exclusive licensing deals and sponsorships.
Any corporation that funds a Republican convention headlined by Donald Trump needs to understand that they will be linking themselves to the Republican frontrunner’s bigotry and hate speech. Businesses will be risking the reputation of their brand with consumers by giving the RNC money to fund a convention that will nominate Trump.
If Google cares what their users think, they will listen to nearly half a million people and dump Trump.
