Fox Business: Don't Invest in a Regime that Murders Journalists
To: Fox Business News:
According to news reports, the Saudi government may have murdered Washington Post contributor Jamal Khashoggi.
We urge you to take the following immediate actions:
1) End your sponsorship and participation in Saudi Arabia's Future Investment Initiative conference, following the lead of the New York Times, CNBC, CNN, and others.
2) Stand up for freedom of speech in Saudi Arabia and call on the Saudi monarchy to reveal what happened to Khashoggi and where he or his body currently is.
3) Take a stand against the Saudi government's brutal bombardment of thousands of civilians in Yemen.

Why is this important?
Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, a U.S. resident, was just apparently killed on the eve of his wedding— and news reports suggest that the Saudi government was responsible. If that’s true, this is the latest in a long line of actions by the Saudi government cracking down on dissidents and murdering civilians. But U.S. news outlets have consistently propped up the image of Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman as a reformer, giving him a free pass to continue executing Saudi activists, bombing Yemeni children in school buses, and using starvation as weapon of war in Yemen.
The New York Times and all other media sponsors have already pulled out of the Saudi government's upcoming high-powered investment conference in the wake of Jamal Khashoggi's apparent murder. But Fox Business is still planning to sponsor the conference, giving a seal of approval to bin Salman’s repressive regime. Add your name to demand #JusticeforJamal and insist Fox Business stop enabling Saudi government repression.
