Recent boycotts of Equinox and SoulCycle and new attention on donors to Trump have put the spotlight on accountability for political contributions. The initiative Zero for Zeros advocates for companies that are allies to LGBT employees and customers to stop making contributions to anti-LGBT elected officials.

He joins me on the show today to talk all about it.
