Please strike a blow against the Christian nationalist co-optation of our nation’s 250th birthday by boycotting some of the corporate sponsors of the White House’s Freedom 250 initiative. This initiative is drawing on tax dollars to host a 12-hour prayer fest on the National Mall on Sunday, May 17, to rededicate America as “one nation under God.”
Read Freedom From Religion Foundation’s news release to find out more about Freedom 250 and the May 17 “National Jubilee of Prayer, Praise & Thanksgiving” and how the White House is using this to promote the myth of a “Christian nation.”
Among the corporate sponsors, as indicated by the Freedom 250 website, are Mastercard and United Airlines.
Boycott United Airlines. Contact United Airlines here to let them know you will be flying on other airlines unless and until they withdraw as corporate sponsors of Freedom 250, an overtly Christian nationalist takeover of our nation’s 250th birthday. If you are a frequent flyer or have a Mileage Plus account, be sure to so identify yourself to flex some consumer muscle.
Boycott Mastercard. If you own a Mastercard, please call the number on the back of your card to let them know how unhappy you are about the credit card company sponsoring Christian nationalist events. If you are able to make arrangements to cancel your card without hardship at this time, that would be the most effective way to send a message. You can also call customer service at 800-627-8372 to ask Mastercard to stop supporting events that disrespect America’s foundational principle of separation between state and church, which distort our nation’s secular history and which blatantly exclude anyone who is not a conservative or evangelical Christian.
Thank you for speaking up!
