.png) Pamela, Donald Trump abused his wide reach on social media for months to spread baseless -- and as we saw on January 6th, dangerous -- lies about our election. He repeatedly violated Facebook's civic integrity rules and jeopardized our entire democracy. But as of now, Facebook has only "indefinitely suspended" Trump's account -- and they may be on the cusp of letting him back onto the platform. We can't let Facebook give Trump another opportunity to mislead voters and stoke chaos on its website. Sign the Petition: Tell Facebook to permanently ban Donald Trump >> Trump's posts about "voter fraud" or "#StopTheSteal" -- none of which provided a shred of evidence for their claims -- were shared over 12 million times, based on our analysis. And even though Facebook was warned that giving Trump free rein to lie on its platform would threaten our democracy -- it took the violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol to finally move them to action. Now, Facebook has created a new Oversight Board that will review its decision to ban Trump -- and the most impactful thing that this board can do is decide to make that ban permanent. Facebook can't let Trump wreak any more havoc with his disinformation and hate speech on its platform. If you agree, add your name now. Pamela, the team at Facebook urgently needs to hear from consumers like you and me. I hope you'll speak out today. Thanks for all you do, Common Cause Team
