Prioritize those in need
Rethinking donations
Regarding “Big Oil reassessing political donations,” (B1, Jan. 12): It was a pleasure to read in the Houston Chronicle that major corporations are rethinking their corporate political donations. I would request the corporations to consider redirecting the political donation funds to charity for the next few years. States and charitable organizations are working extremely hard to feed and clothe people who have lost their jobs and property due to the pandemic and do not know where their next meal will come from. More funds and help are required now. So much can be done for people who cannot afford even a basic meal. Education, job training and more opportunities for jobs, to name a few. The corporations do their share in assisting people in need, but more is needed this year and the next few to get people back on their feet. My earnest request to the corporations is to please consider making the changes and start improving the living conditions of our countrymen. It will take a lot of time and money, but those who want to do it, can.
