Friend --
Last week, Adam went with a delegation of civil rights, human rights and labor leaders to Seoul, South Korea to protest at the annual Hyundai shareholders meeting.
Why? Because Hyundai is one of the biggest political and economic players in the state of Alabama.
We have no doubt that if Hyundai and other foreign auto companies use their power for good, HB 56 -- the worst anti-immigrant law in the country -- could be overturned.
So Adam and this group of leaders traveled across the world to tell the leadership of Hyundai exactly that.

The delegation told Hyundai Vice Chairman and CEO Eok Jo Kim that his company’s decision to stay quiet--while the Alabama law wreaks havoc on the immigrant community--will not only have an impact on their bottom line, but could put them on the wrong side of history. Joining our effort to repeal HB56 is both the right moral and economic thing to do.
In response, the CEO of Hyundai Motors acknowledged he’d heard our case. He agreed that his company has a responsibility to work to protect civil and human rights.
To date, Vice Chairman Kim's message has yet to be backed up with action. But we’ll keep holding Hyundai to their word because staying on the sidelines does not absolve them. If they don't stand against HB 56, then, by default, they’re for it.
We’re going to continue to spread this message (and do so around the world if we have to) and I just want to make sure you were up to speed on these big developments.
Thanks for your support,
Matt Hildreth
