Take Action

DO YOU WANT A MURDOCH-FREE WORLD?

Who the hell doesn’t?

Our consumer boycott campaigns are at the heart of everything MFW do. For far too long, Murdoch’s NewsCorp and other hate media have adversely influenced the public narrative, by channeling dangerous myths into millions of homes and work-places and pushing an anti-climate and anti-progressive agenda.

To start taking part in our campaigns, read the instructions below before you log into our App here: Campaign Database.

What MFW do is provide the information people need to contact advertisers to object to them funding hate speech and lies. We also actively support advertisers who stop funding such hate and tell them why, too. It all takes just a few emails per day, or per week.

To get started, have a look around our App. Depending on your device as you log in, you’ll first see a list of hashtags at the top or on the left-hand side of the page. These are all MFW’s different campaigns (#NewsCorpse, #BinBen and so on). Choose the campaign you wish to participate in and click on that campaign hashtag, and you’ll  be shown a list of advertisers we witches need to boycott.

You can then start to email these companies or contact them via their social media addresses (found as buttons under each listing) to tell them what you object to about the media organisation they advertise with, and ask them to stop funding hate. We encourage you to contact the same or different advertisers as often as you can to make your views known, because achieving our witchy aims will take thousands of collective emails and messages.

But that’s not all.

If you refuse to patronise businesses which fund hate media (and even more importantly, tell them why) some of those businesses may choose to advertise elsewhere. And if you heavily patronise businesses which DO divest from hate media (as a thank-you for their commitment to a better future for all), they’ll be motivated to keep away from advertising with hate media.

The only companies which will thrive in coming years are those whose values align with those of their customers, suppliers and staff. Make sure the companies you use fit your values and ethics.

The MFW Campaign Database is the perfect way to do this and the more people who use it, the faster we’ll all change the world.

This kind of collective action works, as it did with Alan Jones. We forced him and his employer to stop spreading hate, misogyny and lies.

While our main campaign now is to rid the world of Rupert Murdoch’s hate speech and lies, we also target some other media organisations. You’ll find within our database the different hashtag campaigns listed, as well as multiple ways to contact advertisers and advanced searches to assist. We also supply email and poster templates to help, which can be found under the Campaign Resources tab at the bottom of this page.

Does it work? Yes, it sure does!

More than 530 advertisers witchdrew from advertising on Alan Jones’ radio show before he left the station. This took five months to achieve, but it only took a couple of days of similar action to have other racist or misogynistic media commentators including Pete Evans, Eddie McGuire, Chris Smith and Donald Trump Jnr. removed from their platforms.

Taking on Rupert Murdoch is harder, but we’ve already had more than 500 advertisers witchdraw.

It’s time to take it nuclear.

In a nutshell, here’s what you can do to help MFW achieve our collective aims:

1. Most importantly, contact businesses which advertise with hate media and ask them to stop. Choose five per day (or per week) and write to them or call them, and boycott them if they refuse to stop funding hate;

2. Talk to local businesses such as cafes, restaurants, medical surgeries, motels, hotels and schools if they stock or broadcast hate media for their staff, customers, clients or patients. Ask them to stop and boycott them if they refuse;

3. Donate to fund MFW’s crucial work, as it takes a huge amount of labour and organisation to keep up-to-date with this critical work which is largely done by volunteers who should be paid;

4. Offer to volunteer to read, listen to or watch some hate media to record the advertisers for us; and/or

5. Tell your own circle of friends or followers about MFW, and get them involved, too. It takes a collective to do this work or in our case, it takes a fierce witchy village.

Image appears to be of three people in a bar taking a group selfie. There is a man standing in the middle holding his drink, arms around the shoulders loosely of the two woman and he has a prosthetic leg. The woman on the left leans in posing with her drink up and the woman on the right leans into him pretending to drink and taking the photo with a phone.

Got a positive response? Awesome!

Let us know via our socials or the ‘Get In Touch’ link on the bottom of this page. Our Witchy volunteers will move them to the WITCHDRAWAL list.

Then sit back and watch our Witchdrawal database go up. And up. And up.

And all of it leading to a better – and Murdoch-free – planet.
