…in its tactical spending guide for ~~Black~~ empathetic Americans.

There is no race requirement to sign the pledge and receive updates. I encourage everyone to remember that the most influential vote in the US is with our dollar.

I clicked through but never could see the actual list. Anyone know where to find that? The best I could find were three from those who've rolled back DEI pledges and three from those who've maintained theirs.

Same, I'm assuming it will be in the periodical email?

It's every corporation. Grow up face reality they chase endless profit at the expense of all humans. From the Chinese sweatshops there products are created in, to the mountainous landfill polluting grave in the end.

*their.

I don't normally correct Grammer, but you're kind of an asshole. If you bothered to take a look at the link, their suggestions line up with better business practices. It's hard to say the likes of Ben and Jerry are on the wrong side of history.

That's the nicest thing anyone has ever said about me. Bless your soul.
