Netflix’s stock is plummeting in response to former President Barack Obama inching closer toward having shows on the video streaming platform.

The New Movement launched a campaign to fight back against Netflix for closing in on a deal allowing the former president to have several shows.

As noted by Yahoo Finance, Netflix’s stock has been steadily declining in price since the conservative group launched its boycott a few days ago.

As indicated by the chart, Netflix’s stock has been climbing since late last year. Last week, the stock prices topped off at $331.

That was before the news that Obama is in the middle of “advanced negotiations” with Netflix for a series of specials covering politics, culture, and other topics.

This series provides the Obamas with the opportunity to remain very active in political and cultural issues — meaning they will likely criticize President Donald Trump and Republicans.

Following the announcement, the New Movement — a grassroots campaign affiliated with Stop The Scalpings and Media Equalizer — launched a campaign calling on conservatives to boycott Netflix.

On NewMovement.Org, readers will find a detailed list of email addresses and phone numbers to use if they want to voice their opinion about Netflix giving the former first family unlimited access to shows.

There’s also a link that will take users to an email that has already been drafted and is ready for immediate use.

All users have to do is copy and paste the information from the website into the correct locations in an email. In doing so, Americans can tell Netflix how they feel about the Obamas getting shows on the platform.

If the boycott intensifies, it would be bad for Netflix. A drop in stock prices indicates the New Movement campaign is working, and it could lead to the company perhaps withdrawing from the negotiations with the Obamas.
