Activists Are Trying To Force Mastercard To Cut Off Financial Support To The Far-Right
Activists have successfully forced Mastercard to hold a vote by shareholders on a proposal which, if passed, could see the company monitoring payments to global far-right political leaders and white supremacist groups.
Robinson and several other leading figures in the global far-right have been forced in recent months to solicit donations directly on their websites via Mastercard, Visa and American Express after PayPal banned payments to them. Facebook also disabled the donation function on Robinson’s fan page before deleting it completely.
It would see the formation of a “human rights committee” at the board-level, which would monitor financial transactions to designated hate groups. More recently, Robinson has been calling on his global network of supporters to donate to his election campaign, through his website, which allows payments from Mastercard.
