This is perhaps the most egregious example of an affront to First Amendment freedom of speech that has yet appeared. It demands: “To put the media and political institutions on notice that they are accountable for normalising Trump’s extremism by treating it as entertainment, by giving it inordinate and unequal air time and by refusing to interrogate it or condemn it.”
It was, I believe, written by Eve Ensler (“American playwright, performer, feminist, and activist, best known for her play The Vagina Monologues”–Wikepedia), and is full of grammatical errors. It calls for “unequal airtime” for Trump while demanding to “inject values of respect inclusion, love and equality back into our national politics.” Hello?–SB

#StopHateDumpTrump – Statement of Purpose
To call out Donald Trump for his hatred, misogyny, Islamaphobia, and racism and to give platform for the voices of the silent majority of Americas who do not and will not stand for it.
To put the media and political institutions on notice that they are accountable for normalising Trump’s extremism by treating it as entertainment, by giving it inordinate and unequal air time and by refusing to interrogate it or condemn it.
To inspire a collective awakening of people across all spectrums of the US to speak out and create actions to end hatred and inject values of respect inclusion, love and equality back into our national politics and to join and support the many existing groups already doing this work each and every day.
To let people across the world know there is another America that Trump does not represent or speak for and we will not be silent anymore.
