To Whom It May Concern at _______,

[It's always best to start the email with one sentence about your connection, if any, to the company]

I know that __________ joined the hundreds of corporate executives that signed on to the New York Times advertisement opposing “any discriminatory legislation or measures that restrict or prevent any eligible voter from having an equal and fair opportunity to cast a ballot.” Thank you for that. With a wide range of voter suppression efforts attempting to disenfranchise predominantly Black and Brown voters being introduced across the country this couldn't have been more important. As a consumer I felt great about continuing to spend my money with you. But then I learned that _____ remains a member of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. This is a huge problem.

On April 13, 2021, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce announced their opposition to the For The People Act —a House-passed bill that would protect an individual’s right to vote. But this is far from the first anti-democracy stance the Chamber has taken. They are, in fact, known for their support of voter-suppression measures and the politicians who vote for them.

Since the Chamber’s stance directly conflicts with your New York Times statement, I urge you to disassociate _________ from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce by renouncing your membership. I believe affiliating with and financially supporting an organization that is operating in direct contravention of the values and policies you have promoted–and those of American democracy‚ poses a serious risk to your reputation.

Silence on this matter is tantamount to an endorsement of the Chamber’s position and shows where _______ stands on protecting an individual’s right to vote. I hope you agree that preserving our democracy is not a value that can be compromised. Only by ending your financial support for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce can ______ show it will not equivocate on the promises it has made and the values it represents. I will have to stop shopping with you until you do, and share this information widely on social media.

Thanks,

Name,

City, State
