Corporate Donations Tracker: Here Are The Companies Giving Millions To Anti-Racism Efforts

A number of companies have released statements pledging support to the black community. Amazon, Spotify, Snap, Netflix, Microsoft, Zillow and Disney are some of the corporations to speak out. But there have been calls by some online for companies to specify exactly how they are supporting the black community, while others are pointing out a perceived double standard in firms’ actions.

After Amazon tweeted: “Together we stand in solidarity with the Black community,” the American Civil Liberties Union responded: “Will you commit to stop selling face recognition surveillance technology that supercharges police abuse?”The NFL was also criticised by filmmaker Ava Duvernay for being “hollow + disingenuous.” Former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick has not found work in the league since 2017, after he would protest police brutality and the racist treatment of black people in the U.S.

Now do one on those supporting Antifa terrorist insurrection.

Amazing how these wealthy companies always cough up money to show they support the cause. Perhaps if they had used this money to pay better wages to their workers we wouldn’t be in such chaos as we are today.

Do you know what impacts the vulnerable more than making corporate donations? Actually getting involved, getting your hands dirty, in social issues. Look at Slack for an excellent example. slack
