The scoop: Chase Bank asked millions of Facebook users to "decide what matters" by casting votes for their favorite organizations to win $25K and a shot at $1MM. Chase then rigged their own contest by hiding the voting information during the last few days of the contest, and then revoked the winnings of several organizations without providing a reason. Students for Sensible Drug Policy was one of those organizations. Chase has refused to release the final vote count to the media or the public. Read the NYTimes exposé.

Chase used this "contest" to promote their brand while misleading the public into thinking that it was a democratic voting process. If Chase can't be trusted to treat nonprofits fairly in a charity competition, then they can't be trusted to handle our money.

I pledge to boycott Chase Bank!

I refuse to support Chase Bank because of their untrustworthy conduct during the Chase Community Giving contest. I will close any open accounts that I have with Chase and will not open another Chase account until the bank rectifies this situation.

press release

Students for Sensible Drug Policy (SSDP) is a grassroots organization of high school and college students who work to educate the public about the failures of the War on Drugs. We believe that drug abuse is a serious health issue that is only made worse by punishment and discrimination. We promote education over incarceration.

SSDP competed in Round 1 of the Chase Community Giving Challenge on Facebook (Nov 23 - Dec 11). Despite receiving more than 2,500 votes, which placed us well within the top 100 according to all known vote counts, Chase revoked our winnings without explanation.
