The internet has given everyone a voice, and Change.org has become one of the most popular platforms for using that voice.
One of the site’s petitions that seems to be picking up steam, almost reaching 100,000 signatures, is a petition to remove a billboard advertising WhitePrideRadio.com and AltRightTV.com.
According to the post on Change.org, Harrison Sign Co., a sign company based out of Harrison, Arkansas, has posted several racist billboards over the past few years.
“The billboards have done tremendous damage to our community by giving the impression that our citizens support their messages and don’t object to their presence,” the post said.
The post also said that the community has worked to remove previous billboards found to be equally offensive, but this one still stands.
Commenters and residents have also taken to Change.org to express their discontent with the billboard.
One commenter by the name of Amber Harris said, “This sign is an embarrassment to our community and a stain on our town. Our community deserves better. Our minorities deserve better.”
Another commenter, John Henderson, said, “This does not represent the view of the people of Harrison. It is bad for the reputation and economy of the town.”
The petition has a goal of 150,000 signatures. If you’d like to help by adding your signature, you can click right here.
