Friend,
Our top priority at The Lincoln
Project has always been to fight anyone who supports or enables
authoritarianism.
That means taking on Trump and his
horde of ultra-MAGA acolytes. That means taking on the massive
corporations who try to secretly fund their blatant attacks on our
democracy. And we’ve always had our Lincoln Project community at our
side. We owe our success to supporters like you, Friend. (Ask Toyota
what happens when we make our voices heard)
Now we’ve got another Fortune 500
company that thinks it can put profits over democracy and enable
authoritarianism without consequence. LG Electronics is
currently carrying Russian propaganda outlets RT News and Newsfront on
their content store.
RT and Newsfront are mouthpieces
for the Kremlin and have been under U.S. sanctions since April 2021.
They’ve spread lies and conspiracies justifying Russia’s belligerent
and murderous war in Ukraine. Now, LG is allowing them to target
audiences here in the United States.
Imagine someone watching Tucker
Carlson rant against the United States supporting Ukraine in its fight
against Russia. And then flipping to RT News and watching them parrot
the exact same dangerous propaganda.
The midterms are just 34 days away.
We can’t afford to have Russian propaganda outlets spewing lies to
American audiences ever, but certainly
not this close to Election Day.
We
need to call out LG for blatantly enabling authoritarianism. Add your
name to our petition demanding that LG Electronics pull RT and
Newsfront from their content store.
