Tell CNN not to run ads for anti-immigrant, right-wing extremists!
CNN must reject anti-immigrant ads from a right-wing, extremist organization.
Why is this important?
CNN is allowing a right-wing, anti-immigrant extremist group to run racist ads that scare Americans about family-based immigration.
NumbersUSA, a group founded by white nationalist John Tanton, is airing a controversial ad that promotes Donald Trump’s racist agenda against immigrants.
In their ad, NumbersUSA attacks family values by going after immigrants in the US who sponsor close relatives for green cards. Our laws allow some relatives of American citizens and legal residents to immigrate to the United States, because US policies support family unity. But NumbersUSA, which is against all kinds of immigration, wants to demonize this system.
In their view, it leads to “too many” people of color in America.
Throughout the years, NumbersUSA has helped derail bipartisan immigration reform legislation in Congress, while working to carry out John Tanton’s vision of limiting immigration of non-white immigrants to the United States. Even worse, NumbersUSA’s leader, Roy Beck, has been known to edit race-baiting articles from a racist journal known as the Social Contract Press.
Right now, CNN is airing a six-figure ad buy from NumbersUSA in Washington DC. If CNN wants to truly be “fair and balanced,” it should not air advertising from hate groups like NumbersUSA.
This group is not a legitimate commentator on immigration; it's a right-wing extremist group trying to push Donald Trump’s xenophobic agenda and it must be stopped immediately!
Please sign this petition and tell CNN to stop giving airtime to right-wing extremist groups like NumbersUSA.
