Last Friday, Elizabeth announced a big proposal to break up the three biggest tech companies. And then, like we do with most things we want to get the word out about, we put up a video ad about her plan on Facebook.

But today, we got a notification from Facebook: They were pulling down our video ads.

Facebook and Google control 70% of online traffic, so in order to get Elizabeth’s message out online, we have to use their platforms — and pay them for the privilege.

Facebook is letting us share our video again (thanks, by the way). But if you want proof of Elizabeth’s point that Facebook has too much power, look no further than their ability to shut down a debate over… whether Facebook has too much power.

This is why it’s important to have a social media marketplace that isn’t dominated by a single censor — because at the end of the day, Facebook makes the call on whether an ad, whether it’s from a presidential campaign or a mom-and-pop business, gets to be shown or shut down.

You can help make sure we can keep spreading the word about Elizabeth’s plan to break up Big Tech, and power the grassroots movement that’s going to make big ideas like this one a reality — by chipping in $3 or more right now:

P.S. — You might think this is just one instance of Facebook pulling down an ad that could be seen as critical. It’s not — and you shouldn’t have to call Facebook’s publicists in order to have a “robust debate.” Make a donation to fight back today.

Elizabeth’s new plan to break up big tech monopolies is getting a lot of attention — and a lot of great reviews.

Experts say it’s “absolutely right,” “refreshing and ambitious,” “great for democracy,” “pretty badass,” and “exactly what needs to be done.” It “zeroes in on the core problem” and “would transform the economy for the better.”

We can get this done, along with all of the big, structural change we need — like Universal Child Care, Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, the Anti-Corruption Act, Ultra-Millionaire Tax, and more. But big ideas are just step #1. We need to keep growing our grassroots movement so we can make them happen.

Elizabeth is already sending a message that she’ll put power back in the hands of the people, where it belongs. Chip in $3 or whatever you can right now to keep up the fight.

We’ll make sure government doesn’t just work for the biggest tech companies, oil companies, Wall Street banks, and everyone else who’s wealthy and well-connected.

But first, we need to prove that it’s possible to run a campaign that that doesn’t cater to the rich and the powerful — no special treatment for big donors, no federal lobbyists, no Super PACs, no PACs of any kind.

We’ll prove that we can run a bold campaign that challenges powerful interests, including the giant corporations that run the internet — and that we can win by fighting side by side.

Thank you for everything you’ve done as a part of this team.

You’re already changing the conversation in this presidential primary and making sure it’s focused on big ideas that will actually help people. Make your first contribution to our campaign today so we can keep it that way.

Thanks,

Team Warren
