Tell C-SPAN to Stand Up for Democracy and Remove Allan Block from Its Board of Directors

C-SPAN Board of Directors

Allan Block, owner of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and Toledo Blade and C-SPAN board member, has been an extremist for decades. He spouts homophobia and sexism, is a supporter of the January 6th insurrection, and is an abuser of workers’ rights. He has undermined democracy and journalism from the Capitol to the workplace.

That’s why we are coming together to demand that C-SPAN remove Allan Block from its Board of Directors immediately.

C-SPAN claims to be an unbiased, neutral, and trusted source, yet makes excuses for Allan Block’s appalling behavior. The company claims that Allan Block has no influence on the editorial decisions of the network, but not only does he sit on the board of directors, C-SPAN’s primary source of funding comes from cable and satellite companies like the one Allan Block owns.

It’s time for C-SPAN to stand up for democracy and journalism. We demand that C-SPAN recommit to being a neutral, trusted source and remove Allan Block from its Board of Directors.
