Topic: SHAREHOLDERS CHALLENGE MASTERCARD’S RISKY DEI GOALS
The following three angles on the Mastercard meeting should be great discussion topics  (these are Stefan Padfield's X posts):
@StefanPadfield

**Mastercard's illegal discrimination? 1. “grow U.S. Black leadership ... by 50%”; 2. “invest $500 million in Black communities”; 3. “committed to increase our procurement with Black-owned businesses to $100 million annually” cc

**I believe during the Q&A at today's SH AGM Mastercard also tried to disavow any responsibility for taking sides in our political debates by claiming something along the lines of: "only individuals can hold political views." That's false *and* insulting to SHs.

**PPS: This was another meeting where there was both a pro- & anti-DEI proposal (ours) on the ballot, with both losing (and I suspect with similar against vote counts). But that won't stop the activists posing as journos publishing headlines that claim our defeat = "SHs pro-DEI!" Shareholders Challenge Mastercard’s Risky DEI Goals
