A new online petition is urging tech billionaires who have previously supported former President Donald Trump to demonstrate their commitment to human rights by funding organizations that address social justice and equality.
Launched by a coalition of advocacy groups, the petition has gained thousands of signatures within days.
The petition criticizes influential donors for funding Trump’s campaigns, citing his administration’s policies that undermined human rights and environmental protections.
“We’re calling on these billionaires to offset the harm caused by their political contributions by supporting organizations that work to protect vulnerable communities,” the coalition stated.
Advocates hope the initiative will spotlight the role of wealth in shaping public policy and encourage greater accountability among the tech elite. While some donors have remained silent, others have recently shifted focus to philanthropy.
The petition’s growing traction underscores public demand for social responsibility in an era of increasing economic inequality.
Many signatories have emphasized that the tech industry’s influence should not be wielded solely for political gain but rather to address systemic issues like racial inequality, climate change, and workers’ rights.
The petition continues to grow in popularity, and its backers hope it will send a clear message to billionaires who have the power to make a positive social impact.
