Here Is How the Site Works

This is a group effort! We need your help for this campaign to succeed! As time passes, we will work hard on adding to, updating and refining the site. If you have any input or want to help, please let us hear from you. Below are ways you can get involved in this project and make things happen.

• 1) You can help in many ways, first and foremost, by participating in the boycott and pledging not to buy the products or services advertised on select mainstream media networks and programs.
• 2) Join the forum located here. Once things get going in here, there are many tasks that we need direct help with and the forum is a great place to join forces to better the effectiveness of this site and the entire campaign.
• 3) Post banners and/or widgets at your websites and MySpace pages and help us bring 9-11 hip consumers a way to effect change through the selected use of their dollars. Send out email alerts to your lists when new parts of the boycott campaign begin, such as the recent Blacklisting of Popular Mechanics.
• 4) Make your voice heard! Go to 911blacklist.org regularly and look at each of the Blacklisted products or services. Each posting will contain information that you can use to contact the company which makes the product or provides the service. This is the backbone of the 9-11 Black List Project and will tell the company that you are voting with your dollars. When possible, we will provide an online contact form, e-mail address, phone number, and physical address for each black listed company. You choose how to contact them based on what is the best way for you. We urge participants to be courteous, yet stern in voicing your extreme disapproval of the advertisers support for such anti-American programming
• 5) While we urge that you compose your own letters to send to these companies, we have provided sample letters that you can use, either verbatim, or as a model to build your own.

Here Is How to Use This Site

911blacklist.org will contain individual postings which resemble postings at a blog. Each posting will contain a product or service which has been blacklisted for boycott. Your job is to visit each posting where you will find the following information:

• 1) The name of the product or service.
• 2) The name of the company which provides the product or service.
• 3) Contact information for the company including, where possible, links to online contact forms, e-mail addresses, phone and fax numbers, and physical mailing addresses.
• 4) The network and program the product or service is advertised on.
• 5) Use one of our sample letters, or compose your own and send it in.

It’s that simple! Of course, you have to repeat this many times but a few minutes spent on this each week will pay huge dividends.

Tips for Using the Site Effectively

• 1) Use the Categories feature on the right hand side of the site to help navigate through the growing number of Blacklisted products and services.
• 2) Look in the Categories for business names. Click these links to see what other products made by the same company, if any, are Blacklisted. You may wish to write separate letters, or include a list of the Blacklisted products made by the same company in one letter.
