Dear John,
Amazon uses its Smile program to discriminate against religious nonprofits that support traditional marriage. ADF is one of many nonprofits that were kicked out of the Smile program. Amazon relies on the widely discredited lists produced by the Southern Poverty Law Center for this purpose.
You can help stop this form of discrimination against traditional believers in one of two ways.
- If you are an Amazon shareholder, please vote in favor of Resolution 12 (which you can read on the bottom of page 41 at this link) that is on the latest shareholder ballot. (Details below).
- If you are an Amazon customer, please sign the petition to urge Amazon to stop this practice.
Corporate America needs to end its war against traditional believers and stay neutral on controversial social and political issues.
Shareholder Instructions
Your vote counts. Corporations have a history of making changes when a resolution fails but gains a respectable minority of support.
- 1) Vote your shares directly.
- 2) Tell your financial manager how to vote your shares.
- If you have a financial manager who buys and sells shares for you, let them know you want a say in how your votes are cast. Send an email or letter asking your financial manager to vote in favor of Resolution 12.
- 3) Tell your mutual fund manager how to vote shares in Amazon and why.
- If you own shares in a mutual fund that owns Amazon shares, write to them directly or reach out to the investor relations department. Let them know you would like them to vote in favor of the Viewpoint Discrimination Risk Reporting proposal on the Amazon ballot.
Thanks so much for standing up for the rights of all Americans to be treated equally by corporate giants.
With gratitude,
Michael Farris
