Foxnews.com published an article titled Ford walks back 'woke' DEI policies, joining growing list of US companies. The article reports in part:
Ford says it will no longer participate in the LGBT-focused Human Rights Campaign Corporate Equality Index.
In the letter, Farley laid out a series of bullet points, telling the Ford workforce that the company does not utilize quotas in hiring, and saying that it prioritizes its resources for business purposes "versus publicly commenting on the many polarizing issues of the day." Farley said that the company has "evolved" its Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), noting that all its ERGs are open to all employees.
Farley also informed employees that Ford had made the decision earlier in the year to no longer participate in the Human Rights Campaign Corporate Equality Index, which is an annual survey and report used to gauge "policies, practices and benefits pertinent to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ+) employees."
Ford confirmed the authenticity of the letter to FOX Business when reached for comment, and said in a statement, "The communication to our global employees speaks for itself. We have nothing further to add."
Florida Family Association launched an online campaign in May 2023 titled Very Gay Raptor woke promotion is still alive on Ford website after June 2021 and June 2022 releases. Three email alerts were sent out over the past 15 months that asked people to send emails to urge Ford to stop its LGBT support and remove the web page that promoted the Very Gay Raptor.
Ford removed the Very Gay Raptor promotion. This can be confirmed by clicking on the link that used to publish the sponsorship page. Clicking on the link now reports “PAGE NOT FOUND. Sorry, this page does not exist. ”. Here is the link https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/feu/en/news/2022/06/21/ford_s-very-gay-raptor-set-to-redefine-tough-at-goodwood.html
Ford’s letter indicates that the company went beyond cancelling its support for LGBTQ+ activities. The company’s letter states in part “the company does not utilize quotas in hiring, and saying that it prioritizes its resources for business purposes "versus publicly commenting on the many polarizing issues of the day."
Florida Family Association has prepared an email for you to send to thank Lowes for dismantling hiring quotas, dropping LGBTQ+ initiatives, focusing on its business instead of social issues and urge the company to completely dismantle all aspects of its DEI policy which improperly values one person over another because of immutable traits.
Ford started blocking emails that Florida Family Association subscribers sent to Ford through florida-family.org email web form after the Very Gay Raptor campaign.
It is important to show support to Ford for its decision and encourage it to stand its ground.
