Rogue for the Right Reasons: The Companies Taking a Stand Against Trump

Prominent and successful businesses like Amazon, Coca-Cola, Apple, JPMorgan Chase, Uber, Airbnb, Etsy, Facebook and dozens more are strongly and proudly supporting their consumers while condemning the President’s arbitrary policies on immigration, transgender rights and climate. All the companies taking a stand against Donald Trump are putting people before profits and have been offering a helping hand to those in need. 

A coalition is always the perfect opportunity for Trump to rant express his opinion and fired up on his favorite social media platform, Twitter, multiple messages attacking every single soul that publicly criticizes him. The companies and CEOs, as a protective measure, haven’t been wasting time and are always one step ahead of the game sharing statements to support the community. Find below a list of companies taking a stand against the Trump administration:

2Transgender Policies

Fifty-six companies including Microsoft Corp., Nike, Inc., Lush Handmade Cosmetics, Marriott International, MassMutual, and MGM Resorts International, signed the “transgender equality” letter. As reported by The Huffington Post, the letter is a sharp response to a “rising tide of legislative and administrative attempts to further marginalize transgender, gender non-conforming and intersex people.” 

“We, the undersigned businesses, stand with the millions of people in America who identify as transgender, gender non-binary, or intersex, and call for all such people to be treated with the respect and dignity everyone deserves,” reads the statement. “We oppose any administrative and legislative efforts to erase transgender protections through reinterpretation of existing laws and regulations. We also fundamentally oppose any policy or regulation that violates the privacy rights of those that identify as transgender, gender non-binary, or intersex.”

The Trump’s insensitive administration was considering declaring that there is no such thing as “transgender” and will exclude transgender and non-binary people from civil rights protections. After the President’s proposal, people rallied to support transgender rights and the National Center for Transgender Equality expressed in a tweet, it was an attack to the LGBTQ community.
