Stripe, one of the largest payment processors in the United States, is processing transactions for the far-right streaming site Kick--and fueling the rapid spread of misogyny, racism, and homophobia.¹

Kick allowed the streaming of porn, gambling, racist content, and Nazi imagery to children since its launch.^2,3 And thanks to transaction fees, Stripe is making money every time it processes Kick's far-right content.⁴

We need your help to force Stripe to enforce its terms of services, which strictly prohibit the company's services to be used by businesses that "engage in, encourage, promote or celebrate unlawful violence or physical harm to persons or property."^5,6 

Sign the petition now to demand Stripe drop Kick.

Again and again, we've shown that when we come together--even if it's to take on the biggest companies--we can win. Within hours of the January 6, 2021 insurrection, our people-powered community mobilized and pushed companies including Comcast, Ford, and Microsoft to pause their donations to insurrectionists.⁷ Stripe even banned the Donald Trump campaign from using its services to process donations.⁸

Add your name to the petition now.
