“Our employees are our most valuable assets—and yet the law treats many of them as second-class citizens.”
Today 24 businesses joined with the ACLU to be #out4freedom in Nebraska and the Midwest. These businesses submitted a brief saying that ending discriminatory marriage laws is best for their employees and best for their business.
The corporations who filed field a brief in support of the Freedom to Marry include:
Accenture, Alcoa Inc., Amazon.com, Inc., American Airlines Group, Inc., Barnes & Noble, Inc., CGI, Cisco Systems, Inc., Deloitte LLP, Delta Air Lines, Inc., DirecTV, eBay Inc., General Electric Company, Hewlett-Packard Company, Kimberly-Clark Corporation, Marriott International, Inc., Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, Office Depot, Inc., Oracle America, Inc., Pfizer Inc., Starbucks Corp., Sun Life Financial (U.S. Services) Company, Inc., Target Corporation, Viacom Inc., and Wyndham Worldwide Corporation.
In the wake of record levels of turnout last year, we're seeing far too many states try to cut back on voter access and disenfranchise Black and Brown voters.
Those bills in Nebraska don't look to have a path forward this year, but that doesn't mean the work is done. Make time this weekend to tell our federal lawmakers to protect our voting rights.
Today is day five of #DoGoodWeek, when Nebraskans come together to support communities and the nonprofits that serve them.
This #FundItFriday, we are extra thankful for our supporters who help us protect civil rights and civil liberties for all Nebraskans. Here at the ACLU of Nebraska we do not take government dollars to fund our work. Everything we do is made possible by Nebraskans like you.
