We demand the Advertisers of the NYPost divest their dollars and stop funding the hateful, racist, islamophobic rhetoric targeting our communities now!
Why is this important?
The NY Post has engaged in racist & bigoted reporting that has victimized communities of color for decades! On April 11th, the New York Post published its front page with the Twin Towers in flames & Rep. Ilhan Omar’s comments taken out of context from a speech earlier this year. This coverage created national hysteria inciting death threats to Rep. Omar as well as fear among Muslim Americans. This kind of journalism is an attack on communities of color nationally and we cannot allow a paper to victimize our communities any longer! The Yemeni American Merchant Association (YAMA) has launched a #BoycottNYPost Campaign in April of 2019 that has led to 2,000 bodega's boycotting the sale of the newspaper as well as a coalition of 30 organizations mobilizing to spread awareness & demand the advertisers divest now!
