Get the NRA off our TVs!
Apple TV, Roku, and Amazon must stop helping the NRA grow a platform for violence.
Why is this important?
The NRA creates content that promotes conspiracy theories and racial violence and has blocked our country's ability to pass gun control policies which the entire country supports. They have a right to free speech, but there is no "right" to be on a streaming service. These mega-powerful CEOs must take a stand against the mega-power of the NRA, for the good of our country.
From the New York Times:
"With broadcast television-quality production and three dozen original series, NRATV has the ability to reach millions of people through the channels that distribute it like Apple TV, Roku and Amazon Fire TV. And it has significant resources at its disposal as part of the N.R.A.’s far-reaching “membership support” program. In recent years, that operation alone spent $35.5 million, according to its most recent publicly available tax filing."
