Company Sends Letter to Arkansas Governor Asa
Hutchinson to Prevent Bill from Becoming Law
Acxiom® (NASDAQ: ACXM), an enterprise data, analytics and
software-as-a-service company, today announced the company‘s firm
opposition to the Arkansas House Bill 1228 that appears to be aimed
at allowing discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and
transgender (LGBT), and other minorities on the basis of religious
beliefs.
Acxiom, one of Arkansas largest employers and a long-time
supporter for diversity in the workplace, has sent a letter today
to Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson outlining the dangers of the
proposed bill becoming a law as it damages the state’s economic
climate and sanctions discrimination based on sexual
orientation.
“If this bill becomes law it will lead to the impairment of the
rights of some people and inflict disgrace and shame upon us all,”
said Scott Howe, CEO of Acxiom. “We believe it provides a safe
harbor to encourage discrimination and divide – this is not what
Arkansas stands for or what our country has been fighting for
years. We hope the Governor will do the right thing and veto this
bill.”
