Social Media platforms have enabled the spread of White Supremacy and dangerous conspiracy theories under the guise of responsible content moderation for far too long.

Facebook’s long pattern of complacency amid racial injustices is what birthed the Stop Hate For Profit campaign in the first place.

We will continue to ensure that Latinx are a part of this important conversation, and that our pain and voices are not silenced.
