Thread by @StopFundingHate

Six years ago this tweet went viral & prompted news coverage around the world.

@editthisbob had contacted Lego to urge the company to pull their Daily Mail advertising & #StopFundingHate, and thousands supported his call: money.cnn.com/2016/11/14/med… 1/

Since then, #StopFundingHate supporters have been credited with bringing about significant changes - including a marked reduction in anti-migrant front pages in the UK press

There's still a long way to go, but together we've achieved far more than we ever expected when #StopFundingHate first launched in 2016

It's been amazing - and inspiring - to see the difference we've been able to make by combining the classic principles of consumer campaigning with the organising power of a social media platform like Twitter.

But #StopFundingHate was never about a single platform. At its core, #StopFundingHate is about an idea: If enough of us speak out & urge advertisers to stop supporting hate & division, then this could be the key to building a fairer & more honest media. /5 stopfundinghate.info/2018/03/13/the…
