Fellow Conservative, =20 We are suing video giant YouTube and its parent company, Google, for their = systematic and discriminatory censorship of our conservative videos. =20 And we need your help! =20 Our small, nonprofit group =E2=80=94 PragerU =E2=80=94 is suing the most po= werful information company in the world. =20 And, as if that wasn't difficult enough, after filing suit, the radical Sou= thern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) slapped us with their fake 'haters' label! =20 Let me give you a little backstory on all of this=E2=80=A6 /donation/checkout =20 The fact is that PragerU has reached more than 1 in 3 Americans on the Inte= rnet =E2=80=94 over 100 million! =E2=80=94 with our educational videos that= share conservative truth and opinion. =20 But our reaching this many folks (particularly the fact that 2 in every 3 v= iewers we reach is under 34) was too much for YouTube, so they CENSORED us = and BLOCKED more than 100 of our educational videos to keep them from getti= ng into the hands of young people. =20 To fight back against this ideological discrimination, stand up for free sp= eech, and continue operating while facing the biggest legal battle of our l= ifetime, I'm counting on your support today. Contribute The threat here is not just against PragerU. It's against ALL of us. =20 And the danger is very real. =20 In addition to Google and YouTube, the SPLC also advises Facebook, Twitter,= and many other big tech companies on which groups are 'haters' and must be= censored on their platforms -- or even shut down. =20 But by labeling PragerU as a 'hate group,' they lumped us in with the KKK a= nd other extremists, which is absolutely ridiculous. When did it become 'ha= te' to publish short videos extolling our American values, free markets, an= d personal liberty? =20 That is exactly why PragerU filed suit against Google and YouTube. We aren'= t taking a stand just for our content, but for America and for the freedom = of speech. If we wait in the wings and let this censorship continue, it wil= l only escalate. =20 But fighting back against Google was not an easy decision for us, particula= rly because of the monumental financial cost. =20 They are, after all, one of the largest companies in the world. They have a= n army of high-powered attorneys at their beck and call. And they have alli= es like the SPLC just itching to attack our work. =20 That's why we're relying on concerned conservatives like you to help us cov= er the necessary costs of pursuing this vitally important case and winning = against Google and YouTube. =20 While our attorneys have agreed to cap their legal fees =E2=80=94 a huge bl= essing =E2=80=94 there will be many unavoidable costs to PragerU. =20 This case will be tried in the court of public opinion as much as in the co= urtroom, and we intend to win on both fronts, whatever the cost. =20 However, PragerU cannot cut into our operating budget for more educational = videos to fight this case. /donation/checkout =20 That is why it's critical that we have your financial support, and the supp= ort of thousands of concerned conservatives, to draw a pro-American 'line i= n the sand' against this type of ideological censorship. =20 This is not just PragerU's fight; this is a fight to save conservative free= speech in America. =20 Please help with your immediate gift today. =20 This censorship by YouTube and Google is the same kind of censorship that w= e've seen on college campuses for years. =20 But this time, it is FAR MORE DANGEROUS, because the Internet is where the = world =E2=80=94 especially young people =E2=80=94 go to get informed. =20 Can you imagine if the Left owned the Internet the way they own our univers= ities and drive the mainstream media? =20 If Google and YouTube gatekeepers have all the power to censor ideas they d= on't like, the ramifications will be immense in 2020 and beyond, which is w= hy we must fight back today. =20 We hope you'll help me with your generous financial gift today.
