A group of hateful lefties who are hiding behind anonymous Twitter names have organized a boycott of advertisers whose ads have been appearing regularly on Breitbart News. Unfortunately, the boycott is working causing at least 47 of these companies to flee the conservative powerhouse.
The small group of liberals organizing the boycott is going by the name “Sleeping Giants,” and is using the racist black power fist symbol as a logo for their effort.
This group of anonymous attackers are calling Breitbart.com a “racist” website and forcing fearful advertisers to dump Breitbart as an advertising platform (disclosure, I have written for Breitbart for nearly a decade and personally knew the site’s founder, Andrew Breitbart who passed away in 2012).
We are trying to stop racist websites by stopping their ad dollars. Many companies don't even know it's happening. It's time to tell them.

To date the actual identity of the people behind Sleeping Giants has not been made public but Shareen Pathak of DigiDay.com seems to know who they are and recently interviewed at least one of them.
