These corporations bankrolled the sponsors of Texas' abortion ban

[douglas9]

Texas just enacted the nation's most draconian abortion ban, prohibiting all abortions after six weeks — before many women even know they are pregnant. There are no exceptions for rape or incest. Further, the law places a $10,000 bounty on anyone who helps a woman obtain an abortion in Texas after six weeks. Private citizens can collect the bounty by filing a lawsuit.

The politicians who sponsored Texas' abortion ban are backed by some of the nation's most prominent corporations. These same corporations hold themselves out as champions of women's rights.

AT&T, for example, is one of the top donors to the sponsors of Texas' abortion ban, also known as SB 8. Since 2018, AT&T has donated $301,000 to the sponsors of SB 8. Yet, in AT&T's 2020 Diversity, Equality and Inclusion Report, CEO John Stankey said one of the company's "core values" was "gender equity and the empowerment of women."

3. Supposedly AT&T suspended contributions to GOP objectors

“Employees on our federal PAC board convened a call today and decided to suspend contributions to members of Congress who voted to object to the certification of Electoral College votes last week,” the AT&T spokesperson told The Dallas Morning News at the time.Mar 23, 2021

But they turned around and contributed to Abbott:

But all those corporations who said they would not contribute to GOP objectors did not keep their word

I feel that I have to boycott everyone...

6. I understand your feeling

Companies want to maintain the status quo regardless of the harm is it doing to others. I guess ceos think if thge boat is rocked, they will stop pulling down the almighty dollar.

10. I spent 15 mins on att website and called several customer service numbers

and couldn’t find a way to speak to someone or even get an email address for someone. All there was were numbers to report a problem with one of their services. Called them and they could not provide a number or email address for their corporate office.

11. I found these on Google

https://fairshake.com/att/executive-contact/
Here are some customer service hacks you can use to contact AT&T at their corporate office and potentially reach a real person:

Call the AT&T Executive Customer Support line at [phone].
Representatives here deal with complaints that have been escalated from the lower levels of customer support. If you contact AT&T through Executive Customer Support, you might get them to listen. There can be less of a wait time, and the agents are specially trained to be helpful and expedite your issue.

Call the Main Line for AT&’s Executive Offices at [phone].
At this direct line to AT&T’s corporate office you can ask to speak with senior AT&T executives like the CEO or General Counsel (AT&T’s top lawyer). While you won’t get through to a senior executive directly, BUT their assistant will usually transfer you to an escalated customer service process that will prove more proactive than the general customer service line.

(Take caution: some customers have reported hostile and aggressive responses from AT&T when they try this out, but if you are brave enough, go for it.)

13. ATT

Just cancelled my ATT service and when asked why, I mentioned them supporting GOP that voted to overturn our election and who supported GOP who voted to take away women's rights in Tx. I have other ATT service like phone, alarm and internet that I will cancel in the future.

4. Thank you. I already hated most of them.....

5. The snitch law

Combined with open carry.
What could possibly go wrong?

[Ziggysmom]

7. Just great, the only internet providers in my area are AT&T and Charter/Spectrum.

I hate both those companies!

When you want to know how and why things happen, you gotta follow the money. Great post!

8. I hate AT&T!

9. Charter Communications is Spectrum Cable

Like so many satellite providers (AT&T), Spectrum cable offers the FOX “horse paste” News on the lower cost cable packages. You want CNN, too? You’ll probably have pay more. MSNBC? Yeah, that’s a Comcast NBC/Universal brand channel and you have to buy the higher tier cable package at Charter/Spectrum to get it. The funny thing about cable channel demand is that you don’t want the channels you never see.

This anticompetitive junk about channels calling themselves news offered at cheaper prices needs to stop.
