After the horrific Hamas massacre on October 7, 2024, Rebel News wanted to respond to the radical Jihadist protests by running pro-Israel, anti-Hamas content on digital billboards. But the advertising companies turned us down. They were terrified their trucks would be attacked by unhinged protestors.
So, we took matters into our own hands and built the Rebel News digital billboard truck — a mobile fortress for free speech, so that we could fearlessly take our uncensored message to the streets. The truck has been deployed since June, going wherever the truth needs to be told — including politicians’ constituency offices and press events, political protests, and all kinds of places the media won’t dare go.

UNDER ATTACK
Our truck has been seen by hundreds of thousands of people on the streets, and tens of millions of people on social media. Needless to say, the establishment and the radical left doesn’t like it.
In June, the Toronto Police opened a Hate Crime investigation into the truck.
We recognize the community's concern about a truck displaying Islamophobic messaging in Toronto.

Then, while confronting an Antifa protest at Queen’s Park on Friday, September 20, the truck was violently attacked. A deranged protestor threw a brick at the truck, smashing the screen. We’ve had to pull the truck off the road, and take it to a special shop to:
- repair the screens,
- place security film on the windows, and
- install a high-tech 360-degree video camera surveillance system.
The repairs and improvements alone will cost over $5,000.
But we’ve also had to hire security guards to protect the truck, the driver, and our team.
JOIN THE FIGHT
We need your help to cover the costs of these repairs and the increased security measures to ensure Rebel News can continue fighting censorship and standing up for freedom of speech.
