An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Support Fair Access to Banking Act

18 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

I urge you to please vote for the Fair Access to Banking Act. Payment processing companies like Visa and Mastercard are denying the free speech of artists, writers, and creators who sell their work in open marketplaces. Year by year, more online platforms like Gumroad, Etsy, Steam, Patreon, and now Itch.io have been hit with rampant censorship due to pressure from these payment processors. Hundreds of thousands of LGBT projects and other media that these companies label "obscene" have been wiped from online spaces and their creators' livelihoods, destroyed. Payment processors, under no circumstances, should be able to dictate what we can buy and create. The Fair Access to Banking Act will prohibit financial institutions from refusing legal transactions that comply with the law. This will hopefully begin providing protects for creators and their right to free speech. Your actions on this matter will greatly affect my future voting decisions.
