Also sent the following message to Jeff Bezos (feel free to copy and send):
Dear Mr. Bezos:
I am writing to ask you to consider to cease all HQ2 construction in Pentagon City and Crystal City during the COVID-19 pandemic.
As a member of the Business Roundtable who supports the Statement on the Purpose of a Corporation, you pledged the following:
While each of our individual companies serves its own corporate purpose, we share a fundamental commitment to all of our stakeholders. We commit to:
- Supporting the communities in which we work. We respect the people in our communities and protect the environment by embracing sustainable practices across our businesses.
Each of our stakeholders is essential. We commit to deliver value to all of them, for the future successof our companies, our communities and our country.
Please abide by the Statement you and your company pledged and do right by your HQ2 community - your current and future neighbors, customers (of whom I am one), staff and contractors - tell everyone to pause HQ2 construction until the Governor's stay-at-home order is lifted.
To see the grassroots support for this proposal, please view the following on-line petition.
