Does the HRC corporate index take into consideration a company giving to politicians or campaigns that are against our rights?


From Brian Murphy [131.107.0.78] - Mar. 1, 2011 12:07 PM

Corporations often have Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) as part of their Diversity infrastructure.  What thought has been given to creating concrete opportunities for these ERGs to help bring their corporations to taking positions and taking action on equality issues?


From Mike Rogers [216.15.29.90] - Mar. 1, 2011 12:03 PM

How do the panelists think boycotts can be used to create change in the corporate world? 

Who should "decide" when a community boycott begins or ends?

Is the mere threat of a boycott an appropriate tool to effect change?


From Brian Murphy [131.107.0.78] - Mar. 1, 2011 11:57 AM

While corporations often give to the non-advocacy entities of large national equality organizations as part of the their overall community and diversity work, they dislike being seen as "out on their own" in donating to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender advocacy campaigns and groups.  What can be done to bring corporations the "safety in numbers" that can help them commit their financial support to pro-equality advocacy campaigns? 


From eQualityGiving - Mar. 1, 2011 11:39 AM

For all panelists:

Could you give us an example of a corporate donation that your organization had to decide whether to take or not and what were the issues and what your organization did?


From J Todd - Feb. 25, 2011 10:08 AM

What role is the U.S. Chamber of Commerce playing in our liberation movement, and what is the movement's plan to engage them to do more to convince Republicans that discrimination is immoral, unconstitutional and bad business?   We have Gaga, where's Trump?
