To: Tim Cook, Apple CEO
Tell Apple CEO Tim Cook: Don't fund hate!
"Stop funding hate. Cancel your plans to host a fundraiser for Speaker of the House, GOP Rep. Paul Ryan, who is supporting Donald Trump for President."
Why is this important?
Just two days after Apple announced that it would not support a Republican National Convention led by Donald Trump and his hate-filled campaign, news broke that Apple's CEO Tim Cook was planning to host a private fundraiser for GOP House Speaker Paul Ryan and other House Republicans in Menlo Park, CA.
It is saddening to see that just days after taking the courageous stand to not align with Trump's brand of racism, vitriol and misogyny, Apple CEO Tim Cook is planning to raise money for the same Republicans that are backing Donald Trump. The same Republicans who have blocked legislation to expand workplace protections to LGBTQ people, who have consistently denied climate change, and who have opposed common sense gun safety reforms supported by the overwhelming majority of the American people.
