CENSORED – Koch Billboard – Brave New Films –


Brave New Films

The Koch Brothers and their network of organizations like ALEC, AFP, and LIBRE are targeting public policy initiatives to fight wage increases at the state and local level.

We think working people deserve decent wages — and thousands of others agree. In collaboration with our supporters we raised enough money to run a billboard message to the Koch Brothers in their hometown. We found the perfect billboard by Charles Koch’s home, one he would have to see on his commute from the Wichita Country Club to Koch Industries.

But then the billboard company
suddenly denied our content. Justifying their censorship by calling our message to the Kochs “derogatory” and “aggressive.”

Since our message to the Koch Brothers was censored we are using the money raised for the billboard to complete a short piece exposing the LIBRE initiative, one of the Koch Brothers shadow organizations. We have about 87% of the funding to finish the piece. Please consider a contribution of $25 so we can release the film before November.

After you contribute we will send you our billboard message so you can share on Facebook with your friends. If this billboard company wants to censor our message, let’s spread it as far as we possibly canContribute any amount to this effort now.

At 12 PM PST/3 PM EDT today we will be unveiling the rejected billboard live on Facebook. Set a reminder for this afternoon and watch us live. www.facebook.com/bravenewfilms

Thank you for your support.
