The 2024 edition of the Viewpoint Diversity Score Business Index, a project of ADF, claimed that 62% of scored companies, including Apple, support nonprofits that are influencing public policy by actively attacking free speech and religious freedom.
Tedesco, looking back on the failed proposals, suggested the fight will continue.
“It’s not a matter of adopting the proposal,” he said. “It’s a matter of setting the agenda at the shareholder meeting and with corporate leaders around the things that shareholders are concerned about. This doesn’t end just because Apple doesn’t produce the report or adopt the proposal. This is the beginning of a conversation and it’s going to be a long one until we see the changes that we want from this company.”
Fox News Digital reached out to HRC, SPLC and Apple for comment, but did not immediately hear back.
