(A reminder that these are all donations made just last month, in the middle of Google's extensive preparations for its public support of #pride )

There are some very famous names on that list—pioneers of the internet! They are people who I know don't share the reprehensible values of the legislators in this thread. As their co-workers, you can persuade them and get the Google tech PAC defunded.

If you don't work at Google, you can fight by not letting them get away with vocal support for
#pride without answering for their shameful political giving. And if you are invited to interview there, make it clear that this support is what led you to decline.Show this thread -
I hope the organizers of
@SFPride will weigh these donations, made just three weeks ago, in deciding whether to disinvite Google from the event. Google, through their HR policies, tolerance of YouTube hate speech, and political giving, have told us who they are. Will we listen?Show this thread -
Note that Sundar Pichai donates personally to Google PAC, and so his money ended up in the pockets of the candidates in this thread. Why not drop him a line asking him how he reconciles this with his public comments? Unlike the company founders, he may actually respond!pic.twitter.com/leZV7exbev

And I want to just re-link this video of Virginia Foxx saying in 2009 that the Matthew Shepard story was a hoax. Sundar Pichai's money, and Peter Norvig's money, and Vint Cerf's money, and Susan Wojcicki's money, all went into her campaign last month. Why?https://twitter.com/Pinboard/status/1143939431176347650 …

*Some* of the Schedule A people may not have had a lot of choice.
#JustSaying Some companies let you designate which party the donations will go to, but most do not. -
I'm not aware of any tech company PAC that lets contributors earmark donations; it's all run by D.C. lobbyists. I'm curious why you think some of the donors didn't have much choice?
