A Texas-based nonprofit helping migrant families detained at the US southern border has refused a substantial donation from Salesforce after the tech company declined to cancel its contracts with US Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
Main Idea: Salesforce offered RAICES a donation, but the migrant aid nonprofit refused it because the company would not end its contracts with US Customs and Border Protection.
Key Points:
Salesforce’s CBP contracts may worry consumers and workers who want companies to avoid helping harsh border enforcement.
RAICES donations can help migrant families get legal aid and support, which may ease pressure on communities near the border.
