Boycott the funders of Prop 8. Here's just a few to go after NOW.
Advertisements [?]
It's a sad day here in America. On the very same day we elected our first minority President, we also saw a well-coordinated effort vote to strip a basic human right away from millions of ordinary citizens.

Our rights must never be subject to popular vote. The best way to fight back against this injustice is to go after the people who spent their money to fund this travesty. A rather lengthy list can be found at Californians Against Hate's Dishonor Roll, but here are some notable names for you.

Please join me in a boycott of these companies, and write to tell them that you won't spend any more money with companies that spend money on hate.

Proctor And Gamble


A major partner of P&G, "Cotton Buds," was one of the largest contributors to this travesty through its founder and owner, Dewitt Paul. Let P&G know that as long as they partner with this company, you will not purchase anything they manufacture.

The Procter & Gamble Company Corporate Communications
1 Procter & Gamble Plaza
Cincinnati, OH 45201


Activision


Executives at the company that makes "Guitar Hero" apparently prefer to play with the heart strings of their customers, thanks to $5,000 in donations to Prop 8.

Activision, Inc.
3100 Ocean Park Blvd.
Santa Monica, CA 90405


Bank of America


Gobbling up struggling little banks thanks to the mortgage crisis isn't enough for executives at BoA, they gobbled up your rights with $10,000 donated by executives. Tell them you want to make a withdrawal.

Bank of America Corporate Center
100 North Tryon Street
Charlotte, North Carolina 28255


NVIDIA


The maker of video cards apparently wants to paint a new picture of the world, one without gay rights, as evidenced by $15,000 in donations from their executives. Don't buy NVIDIA graphics cards, and don't buy any machines pre-built with them. Instead, let the companies using them know that you don't support people who support hate.

NVIDIA CORPORATE OFFICE:
2701 San Tomas Expressway
Santa Clara, CA 95050
Tel: 408-486-2000
Fax: 408-486-2200


Avery-Dennison


Avery likes labels. A lot. Not just mailing and shipping labels, but also "faggot" and "queer." At least their CFO, the guy in charge of spending their money, does. He gave $5,000 to take away your right to marry. Tell Avery that you have a label for them: "supporters of bigotry."

And I'm sad to report:

The Walt Disney Company


Executives at the Mouse spent $5,000 to make California the Unhappiest Place on Earth for the GLBT community. Let them know how sad this makes you, and that they made sure you will not have a magical day.

Walt Disney Co.(H Q), The.
500 S. Buena Vista St.
Burbank, CA 91521


These are the ones that stood out to me. They don't want us, then they don't want our money, either, as far as I'm concerned.
