For the past five years, Amazon.com has been helping a white supremacist organization make thousands of dollars. Counter-Currents, an organization whose website exists to advance the books of noted neo-Nazis, is just one of the several hate-driven organizations using Amazon to make money to fund their organizations. As members of Amazon’s Affiliates program, they funnel traffic to the Amazon store. In exchange, Amazon sends Counter-Currents a percentage of any sale made from that referral. How is it possible that one of America’s most respected and innovative companies lets hatemongers use its site to promote its distasteful agenda?

I want Amazon.com to stop helping hate organizations and block them from making money through their platform.

My name is Julie Damigella, I am a mother of two and an avid Amazon.com shopper. Like many of you, I get everything there,  from household items to birthday presents. But when I read about how Amazon was helping neo-nazi organizations make money I was horrified. After reading the article, I did a quick Amazon search and realized that it was all true. What was more frustrating is that Amazon, in its own policy, states that the exact type of organization currently using its platform to make money,  are prohibited.

As a mother I teach my kids not to hate and to stand up for what is right. So now I am practicing what I preach. I am telling Amazon to block these organizations and I want you to help me.

Hatred, in any shape or form is unacceptable. Often there is little we can do about it, but here is our chance to actually make a change. Help me make sure that these organizations don’t make another penny from Amazon. Join me and tell Amazon to stop sanctioning hate and abide by their own policy. Tell them to block hate groups from profiting from their site.
