[1] Johnson is the founder of the Mississippi nonprofit group One Voice Inc., which aims to improve quality of life for African Americans through public engagement."[15] The Washington Post also reported that "Trump has often seemed ambivalent about DACA recipients — lauding them at some points and declaring they are “no angels” at others — but his administration has tried since September 2017 to end the program."[20] In an interview with Forbes, Johnson said, "the flagrant disregard Facebook has shown in putting a stop to the hateful lies and dangerous propaganda on its platform exemplifies a lack of concern for the greater public and nullifies any notion of corporate social responsibility coming from its leadership.Facebook is ultimately damaging its credibility with the American public, and any company that wants to avoid doing the same should send a message that we will no longer accept disinformation during this critical time."[21] By July 3, over 750 advertisers joined the boycott,[22] including Unilever,[23] Ben & Jerry's,[24] Patagonia,[25] The North Face,[26] Lululemon Athletica,[27] Coca-Cola,[27] Ford,[27] Starbucks,[27] Target,[27] Pfizer,[27] Microsoft,[27] PlayStation,[28] LEGO,[29] Dunkin Donuts,[29] Best Buy,[29] Adidas,[29] Clorox,[29] and Walgreens.[22] In response to these efforts, on July 1, 2020, CNBC reported that "Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg has agreed to meet with the organizers of the boycott, a spokeswoman said late Tuesday.Variety announced that "Under the deal, the two organizations will work together to develop and produce scripted, unscripted, and documentary projects for linear and streaming platforms.It is manifest in a lack of opportunity; in economic inequality; in the absence of healthcare; in a biased criminal justice system and mass incarceration; in schools that scream for care; in a denial of truth; and more."[40] In an opinion piece published by CNN, Derrick Johnson noted difficulties for African Americans to find testing and treatment due to "the shortage of hospitals and health care providers serving our communities" and racial bias.He also wrote about racial polarization of pandemic response, in particular by the chief executive, with resulting "high levels of scarcity, with extreme unemployment numbers".
