Dear friend,
Last week, we asked you to you to join us in demanding that ExxonMobil reinstate sexual orientation and gender identity in its nondiscrimination policy after ripping it out in 1999. We're happy to report that more than 3,000 others joined you in taking action -- here's how your signature made an impact:
On Wednesday, Dallas GetEQUAL activists gathered outside the annual ExxonMobil shareholders meeting to ensure that shareholders put a face to their discriminatory policy. While we were kept outside by police, Richard Miller of the Dallas Peace Center delivered those 3,000+ signatures to shareholders at the meeting. Without your help, we would not have been able to show ExxonMobil how many people around the country care about this issue!
Despite those signatures, ExxonMobil shareholders voted down a change to their employment policy yesterday, showing all of us why it's important for the grassroots to keep pushing corporations to do the right thing. We will continue to fight for workplaces free of discrimination, at ExxonMobil and elsewhere. And we will continue to work toward a federal Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) that will end the need to take action with individual corporations.
Get Out, Get Active, GetEQUAL!
-Michael, Mark, Chas, and the GetEQUAL crew
