The Richie & John team have drafted a recommended letter that you may want to send to companies who have made the decision to buckle to the efforts of Robby Starbuck. We invite you to craft your own, but if you need inspiration or want to copy this template, paste it and send this one, please feel free: [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Date] [Company Name] [Company Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Dear [CEO/Corporate Name/Decision Maker’s Name]: I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing as a concerned consumer and proud member of the LGBTQ+ community. Your company has previously demonstrated a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), and for that, you have earned my respect and loyalty as a customer. However, I am deeply concerned about recent decisions suggesting a shift away from these values. As you know, the LGBTQ+ community and its allies wield significant economic power and many of us consciously choose to support brands that reflect our values and stand with us against discrimination and intolerance. The support of corporate entities via DEI initiatives and LGBTQ+ inclusion is not only a sign of a progressive, equitable society but has proven to be beneficial for business by fostering a welcoming environment that respects all individuals. Understandably, businesses face pressures from various sides, but compromising on principles of equality and inclusivity can alienate a vast segment of your consumers and workforce. I urge you to reconsider any decisions that diminish your company's support for DEI initiatives. By committing to inclusivity and standing firm in these values, you not only foster trust and loyalty among your diverse consumer base, but you also enhance your brand's integrity and relevance in today's society. Please consider this an opportunity to reaffirm your company's commitment to creating a diverse and inclusive environment for all. We are ready and eager to support companies that demonstrate courage and vision to promote equality and diversity through their policies and actions. I look forward to seeing [Company Name] lead with integrity and inclusivity once more. Thank you for considering our voices and reflecting on the significance of your policies in shaping a more equitable and accepting world. Sincerely, [Your Name] This letter is crafted to express concern respectfully while also highlighting the importance of corporate support for DEI initiatives and the economic influence of the LGBTQ+ community. For those who may want to write a short note on a postcard, here is a recommended template for that: Dear [Company Name], I am a loyal supporter of businesses that champion diversity, equity, and inclusion. Seeing your recent shift away from these values is disheartening. Inclusive policies matter to me and many others—it influences where we choose to spend our money. Please reconsider your stance and continue to support the LGBTQ+ community and DEI initiatives. Doing so will reaffirm your commitment to equality and maintain my loyalty as a customer. Thank you for listening.
