The theory here is that hospital leaders are not accustomed to public contact. It will cause them to, at a minimum, consider what they are enabling.

It could at least make them uncomfortable? I would hope so. Beyond that - who knows? But I spent 30 years signing petitions and sending letters to people like this and it didn't do any good that I know of. A lot more of them than we realize are brainwashed drones.

Holding corporations accountable to their stated values is why there are tons of LGBT+ things offered by them today.

Letter writing is one aspect. Cultural shaming and bad numbers are also needed.

They need to be hit smack in the reputation, and the wallet. Then they need a few pesky lawsuits filed against them. I am really surprised there aren't more white people suing for discrimination.

Suing under discrimination is not easy or cheap. Need to file with federal EEOC first, and ask for right to sue. Then comes the lawsuit. Lawyer is $500-$1000 per hour, and only works on contingency if there's a likely payout at the end.

Plus you need damages-- so you have to get fired, lose a promotion, or some other quantifiable event. Then you need evidence that discrimination occurred, and it's not because they don't like you (legal in most places), or some other reason. This is an uphill battle in the best of circumstances, and that's assuming the judge or whoever decides the case believes white people can be discriminated against.

Chris gave us 16 names. Obviously not all of them will be "moved" by a large number of emails. But I am sure that enough of them will understand that people are aware of what they are doing and vehemently oppose it.

Oh, the "awareness" argument. I don't agree, if people are willing to mutilate kids for $$ then they will laugh when you send them your "threatening" note. These are psychopaths we are dealing with, not your average dupe.
