Conscious Advertising Network open letter: Racism in football: Letter of solidarity

Conscious Advertising Network has coordinated an open letter to CEOs of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat addressing the lack of adequate action by social media companies to combat online discrimination.

The racism that we saw directed towards England’s players in July, followed the trend of abuse that we have seen online over the past few years. Racist abuse causes trauma, not only to those who are targeted, but it also has a painful and triggering impact on others who view this online.

Equally Ours is a signatory to this letter and is standing in solidarity with everyone who has received discriminatory abuse online.

We, along with 450 others are calling for the advertising industry to come together to find a solution.
