Protecting the Democratic Process
In light of recent news, I wanted to share a message I sent to my team about the importance of protecting the democratic process.
Team,
Before the U.S. election this past fall, we urged each of you - as well as our customers - to engage in the democratic process by exercising your right to vote, no matter your political views. Through our “Register to Vote at Saks” campaign, we partnered with nonpartisan organizations HeadCount and Vote.org to help advocate for voter accessibility and rights. At the same time, we made sure you had the opportunity to make your voice heard. While the 2020 election is behind us, our electoral process remains top of mind for many.
Recently, there has been a lot of debate and discussion around voting laws being pursued in a number of states. While everyone will have their own thoughts and opinions on this matter, at Saks, we’re committed to championing issues that are important to our employees, customers and communities. Voting is one such issue. We believe voting is a basic, fundamental right in our democracy, and we will always advocate so that everyone’s voice is respected and heard.
Sincerely,
Marc

3 年I appreciate Saks for this effort???? My Dad was a small business owner in Danville, Va and growing up he never ever missed one election (literally not one????) When he was diagnosed w/ Parkinson’s disease in 2008 , I will never forget when we had to place him in a nursing home. As the administrator gave us a tour of the facility, she explained to us all of the fun activities that the home offered their patients. All of a sudden my Dad blurted out ‘They’re gonna let us go vote, right?’ ?? But this is how my parents stressed to us the importantance of voting & what others had sacrificed for us to have that right ???????? Kudos to Saks!????????????

3 年Great perception of the American dream. Voter should not be discriminated against. VOTING IS A RIGHT NOT A PRIVILEGE SAKS OR NOWHERE!
