Dallas
Action Alert -- GLBT
workplace equality is under attack in Texas!
On May 29, 2002, ExxonMobil
Corp. will hold its annual shareholder meeting at Meyerson Symphony Center in
Dallas.
Coalition partners and members will be in Dallas for two days of
activities, and we invite each and every member to support the rally and events
we are planning:
Rally for Equality
When: Tuesday, May 28,
2002, at 5:30 p.m.
Where: Reverchon Park in Dallas' Oaklawn neighborhood
Why: Supporters of equality should refuse to fuel discrimination. ExxonMobil
is the only company ever to simultaneously close a domestic partner benefits
program to new employees and strike sexual orientation from its written equal
employment opportunity policy. Let ExxonMobil know that if they want to set up
house in our neighborhoods and take our dollars, they must reinstate fair and
equitable policies. Strong participation in Dallas is needed for this national
protest effort.
ExxonMobil Annual Shareholder Meeting
Protest
When: Wednesday, May 29, 2002, at 9:00 a.m.
Where: Outside the
Meyerson Symphony Hall in downtown Dallas
Why: Show support for the
shareholder resolution submitted for the fourth consecutive year, calling on
ExxonMobil to amend its EEO policy to include sexual orientation.
For the
fourth year in a row, a shareholder resolution will appear on ExxonMobil's
ballot calling for sexual orientation to be included in the company's written
non-discrimination policy. As you may recall, Exxon
refused to adopt Mobil's
non-discrimination policy when the two companies merged.
For the fourth
year in a row, ExxonMobil Chairman Lee Raymond has advised shareholders to vote
against this resolution and the adoption of fair and equal workplace
policies.
The Coalition to Promote Equality is working to make ExxonMobil
adopt a written non-discrimination policy. We need your support. We need your
voice. We need your passion!
Contact Erin Moore ErinMoore@aol.com or Patti Fink pattif@airmail.net to get involved in
these events. Watch for upcoming Action Alerts about these events and visit
