About this Petition Petition Letter Petition Updates

 

New Balance's Chairman, James Davis, is one of the largest funders of GOP Presidential politics, including a major donation to Mitt Romney, who just signed a hateful and divisive anti-gay pledge.  This pledge would ban same-sex marriage in the United States, and write discrimination into the U.S. Constitution. 

Tell New Balance that their Chairman, the public face of their company, should not be supporting politicians who want to enshrine discrimination against LGBT Americans into law. It reflects badly on the company, and suggests that New Balance has little respect for their gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender customers.
