Will shareholders unveil Amazon's relationship with the Southern Poverty Law Center?

Come May 20, Amazon shareholders will have the opportunity to unravel the tangled relationship between the Southern Poverty Law Center and corporate blackballing of conservative charities.

A shareholder resolution introduced by the Heritage Foundation requires Amazon to report on its use of “diagnostic tools created by politicized corporate partners” in screening the company’s charitable contributions, including an evaluation of legal and reputational risks to Amazon. If the resolution passes, Jeff Bezos’s cash cow will have to disclose its dealings with the SPLC. Amazon excluded two conservative charities, the Alliance Defending Freedom and D. James Ministries, from its AmazonSmiles program due to SPLC’s influence on its donations.
