J2 Global, Inc. (NASDAQ: JCOM), a leading Internet information
and services company, today announced a contribution to the NAACP
of $6 million in advertising inventory across J2 Global media
properties, over three years, to advance key NAACP messages and
initiatives.
J2 began working with NAACP in the aftermath of George Floyd’s
death with the launch of its “#WeAreDoneDying” campaign across J2
Global digital media properties, promoting NAACP’s social movement
urging Congress to take measures to ensure Black lives are
protected. In fall 2020, J2 distributed NAACP’s campaign to
increase civic participation.
"We are excited to partner with J2 to advance critical
messages around the issues that impact the Black community,” said
Aba Blankson, Senior Vice President, Marketing and Communications,
of NAACP. “J2's commitment to racial equity and the promotion of
social justice initiatives could not come at a more crucial time.
While our nation grapples with one of the most tumultuous years in
its history, we all have a role to play in eradicating systemic
racism. As one of the largest media brands on the globe, we are
pleased that J2 has picked up the baton in the most meaningful
way."
“It’s an honor to partner with the country’s leading civil
rights organization,“ said Vivek Shah, CEO of J2 Global. “We
proudly support NAACP’s vision and ongoing efforts to eradicate
racial inequality and injustice.“
J2 Global believes that “Doing > Talking.” This partnership
is part of J2 Global’s ongoing stand against systemic racism and
its solidarity with the Black community. For more information on

About NAACP
Founded in 1909 in response to the ongoing violence against
Black people around the country, the NAACP (National Association
for the Advancement of Colored People) is the largest and most
pre-eminent civil rights organization in the nation. We have over
2,200 units and branches across the nation, along with well over 2M
activists. Our mission is to secure the political, educational,
social, and economic equality of rights to eliminate race-based
discrimination and ensure the health and well-being of all persons.
The NAACP is a c4 organization (contributions are not
tax-deductible), and we have a partner c3 organization known as
NAACP Empowerment Programs (contributions are fully tax-deductible
as allowed by the IRS). NOTE: The Legal Defense Fund – also
referred to as the NAACP-LDF was founded in 1940 as a part of the
NAACP, but separated in 1957 to become a completely separate
entity. It is recognized as the nation’s first civil and human
rights law organization and shares our commitment to equal
rights.
