BEYOND MIDTERM ELECTIONS

This midterm elections we can no longer allow our lawmakers to accept donations, and support Big Tech corporations that continue to harm its users and workers. It is time to build a global user and worker solidarity movement that holds these tech companies accountable without compromise.

Facebook and other Big Tech companies continue to choose harmful profits at the expense of its users, workers, and their communities. This midterm election we are calling on users and workers of big tech platforms to unite. We also invite all big tech accountability groups and advocacy organizations to join us as sponsors and partners of our Check Big Tech Town Hall.

It is necessary that we collectively challenge ourselves as users and workers of these big tech companies, and call out Big Tech’s role in authoritarian violence around the world. We must change the rules of engagement, we can no longer accept their model that makes money off of our engagement and the harm they allow others to do to our communities. We are not just passive users and consumers of content and their products, we are creators. We the people, the users of these big tech platforms, have the power to create change.
