Celebrities Join FedEx Boycott Amid NRA Support - Read the Tweets
Celebrities have been speaking out on Twitter against the delivery service company FedEx after they have not broken ties with the National Rifle Association
After the tragic events at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida, many companies announced they would no longer be offering discounts to NRA members.
If you don’t know, FedEx offers NRA members discounts on both domestic and international shipping. As of Saturday (February 24), they have yet to announce any change to this policy despite social media backlash.
Celebs including Julianne Moore, Julia Louis Dreyfus and more have taken to Twitter to say they will be using an alternate delivery service.
Companies that have severed ties with the NRA include Delta, United Airlines, Enterprise rental company, Best Western and Wyndham hotel chains, and more.
Oh hello @fedex. I’ve been waiting. Guess I’m switching to @ups. I send a lot of packages. #boycott nra

Dear @Fedex I urge you to end your partnership with the #NRA.
Their stronghold on our political system is a threat to our democracy and to the safety of the American people. As a mother of two children, I cannot patronize any company continuing to partner with the NRA.— Sarah Rafferty (@sarahgrafferty) February 24, 2018
I'll be doing the same. https://t.co/joyQraOax0

My Mom asked me to stop using @FedEx until they stop supporting the NRA. And I never say no to my Mom. UPS, time to shine. https://t.co/LvYV4aUhc4

I love you @FedEx and you’ve always been my first choice when shipping. But I will switch to UPS immediately if you don’t withdraw your partnership with the @NRA. Even if it means my packages never get where they’re going.

Hello @FedEx I don’t plan to continue to use your services if you don’t stop your partnership with the @NRA.

@FedEx, we're doing a lot of business out of Atlanta Metro Studios on this movie but we're going with @UPS from now on, until you do the right thing and dump @NRA.

My home & business will be switching to UPS, DHL or the US Post Office on Monday because @FedEx refuses to break with the slaughter enabling @NRA.

FED EX = NRA. Since @FedEx refuses to cut ties with the NRA, we must #BoycottFedEx immediately. Whether ur a small business or major corporation, the only thing they care about is $$ so u have to hit them where it hurts. Plenty of other shipping options: @UPS @DHLUS #BoycottFedEx
