The tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk has sparked a wave of engagement from conservative shareholders of MasterCard, alphabet, PayPal, Salesforce, meta, Amazon, Texas Instrument, Starbucks, and others.
Kirk's organization, Turning Point USA has been listed on the Southern Poverty Law Center's hate map and the SPLC's rhetoric has now been linked to multiple acts of violence.
Conservative investors are pushing back.
The Heritage Foundation and portfolio manager David Monson are leading these proposals, demanding that these companies stop using SPLC data to guide policy.
The message is clear: The vague and politicized narrative is bad business. If you own stock in or use these companies: Speak up, vote your shares, the SPLC doesn't speak for corporate America or its shareholders.
Political neutrality isn't just fair, it's smart business.
