More than 4,000 Salesforce employees have urged their company's leadership to drop the National Rifle Association (NRA) as a customer.
The employees made their request in an open letter addressed to company leaders including co-CEOs Marc Benioff and Bret Taylor, SFGate first reported, citing a copy of the letter it viewed. The employees delivered the letter a day after a teenager went on a shooting rampage in Uvalde, Texas, on May 24, killing at least 19 students and two adults.
"It's not in our power to get background checks or other gun control measures passed by Congress — but we can effect change by ending our commercial relationship with our customer, the National Rifle Association," the Salesforce employees wrote in their letter.
The letter's signatories expressed concern the NRA would rely on Marketing Cloud even more after the Uvalde massacre, according to a copy of the letter published by Protocol. Marketing Cloud is a Salesforce software that helps users plan and analyze digital marketing campaigns.
The signatories said the NRA would ramp up its marketing efforts "not to prevent future tragedies from happening, but to sow fear, sell guns, and abet future atrocities," the letter continued.
"It is unconscionable to consider their use of Marketing Cloud to capitalize on mass shootings," the letter continued.
The NRA has continued its advertising activity in the aftermath of the shooting. It started running Facebook ads about two weeks ago that urged gun owners to not let Congress limit gun ownership, and those remained active after the Uvalde shooting, per CNBC. The weekend after the massacre, the NRA held its annual convention in Houston, just 300 miles from Uvalde. The group showcased "14 acres" of guns and gear at the convention.

I hate it when the secretary thinks she runs the company.
You start interviewing people who want a job as you are cutting 4,000 problem employees.
WTF is it with employees today, I’d fire the lot of them
Call it hate speech and start firing people. No wokeness. No politics. Shut up and do your job.
Wow! 4000 out of 336 million (Legal Americans)! This is some heavy sh*t! ROTFL.
POS Salesforce needs to be Disney’d....
Never heard of them.
There’s the door.
“CEO Marc Benioff should call Elon for advice on how to handle this.”

I find this VERY strange as Benioff is a vocal fanboy of obama, and has stated on occasion that he would rather die than vote Republican. How this got to be in the first place is a deep myserty..
More than 4,000 Salesforce employees can ESAD.
I thought she was the mailroom clerk?
Salesforce. Salesforce, Inc. is an American far-left cloud-based software company headquartered in San Francisco, California. It provides customer relationship management (CRM) software and applications focused on sales, customer service, marketing automation, analytics, and application development.
4,000 out of how many employees? Context would be good to know.
Thanks.
Don’t let the door hit you in the ass.
I use Salesforce at work. It sucks, terrible platform. I hope they go down the toilet.
I interacted with Salesforce in early 2000s and they had an overt liberal culture even then. So I am not surprised by any of this.
Dear Salesforce,
The NRA didn’t kill anyone. A gun didn’t kill anyone. Your stupid Mother-Fking liberal assed Satanic religion of insanity kills people. And when you get what you want, as the Bible tells us you will, that’s when BILLIONS DIE.
Did you read that Benihoff came up with the idea of Salesforce while swimming with Dolphins. Crazy, the platform is very adaptable but in my experience very bug plagued and not as efficient as a competitor called TouchQuote.
