Stop Ann Coulter’s Spread of Hate: HRC Asks Us All To Hold Companies Accountable
CALL TO ACTION from Human Rights Campaign

Yesterday, we asked you to send a message to Lee Salem, Executive Vice President and Editor of Universal Press Syndicate, the media group that syndicates Ann Coulter’s column to demand UPS drop Coulter’s column.
You leaped into action and sent over 20,000 emails to Lee demanding Universal Press Syndicate drop Coulter’s column. By responding so quickly, you sent a strong message that our community will not stand by silently while UPS continues to serve as a platform for hateful and destructive language in the media.
As you may know by now, UPS has flatly defied the protests of thousands of fair-minded Americans nationwide by refusing to stop distributing Coulter’s column. In fact, UPS dismissively replied to many of your emails saying “the many writers and cartoonists we represent call for specific products and we have no legal interest in what they may do or say outside of that relationship.”
Well, we know that Coulter’s use of the demeaning and harmful word “faggot” is so beyond the pale that anyone who uses it should not be given a platform as a respected voice in the political discourse of our country.
UPS said, "of course, any of her subscribing newspapers can drop her column at any time." And that's exactly why we need your help again.
Keep the heat on Coulter by encouraging individual newspapers to not provide platforms to bigots.
Send a message today to the editors of newspapers that have not stepped up to plate by dropping Coulter’s column and demand that these publications stop allowing their pages to be used to spread Coulter’s hate.
