RAICES received over $20 million in donations last month RAICES received over $20 million in donations last month One of the most prominent immigration advocacy organizations has officially declined a $250,000 donation from Salesforce, claiming that the company’s existing contract with US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) helps separate families at the US-Mexico border. Like Google and Microsoft before it, Salesforce has come under fire over the past month for its contract with the US government.
Main Idea: RAICES refused a $250,000 Salesforce donation unless the company ended its contract with U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Key Points:
Salesforce's CBP contract may make some customers and workers feel the company helps support family separations, which can hurt trust and trigger boycotts or lost business.
RAICES rejecting the donation may keep public pressure on Salesforce and raise more aid for immigrant families and legal help.
