Email addresses and letter template for TX 🏳️‍⚧️

Hi, all.

I’ve heard from a couple of folks who weren’t able to make the links for emailing the Texas companies work.

Here are the email addresses and, below them, a script to be copied, pasted and personalized if you wish (or write your own!) I’ve already heard back from the folks at Dell so we know we’re getting through somewhere!

American Airlines: mediarelations@aa.com
Hewlett Packard: InvestorRelations@hp.com and MediaRelations@hp.com
Oracle: kelly.schwager@oracle.com
Dell: Investor_Relations@dell.com and Media.Relations@dell.com
AT&T: megan.ketterer@att.com

To Whom It May Concern at [Company],

I'm writing to express concern and horror at the recent announcement by Ken Paxton and Greg Abbott that Texas is going to start charging parents of trans children with child abuse. 

[Insert sentence here about how this affects you/friends/family]

There are no words to describe the harm that this policy--combined with forced reporting by teachers and doctors and possible separation of trans kids from their parents--will do.

What will [Company] do to stand with trans kids and families in Texas? Because if we don't hear anything from you, one of the biggest companies in Texas, I will assume you condone this, and you will never have my business again.

Please, speak up forcefully against this policy. Threaten to leave the state. Do whatever it takes. You can't claim to be pro-LGBTQ and let something this awful stand.

Thanks,

[Name]

[State]
