On June 7, 2021, Boston Common Asset Management and Mercy Investment Services sent an investor letter to AT&T regarding CNN and anti-Native bias. 50 investors and organizations with over $100 billion in assets under management recommended steps CNN can take to improve programming, staff, and contributors related to Native Americans. Many of the signatories of the letter to AT&T were part of shareholder advocacy that pushed the Washington Football Team to retire its racist name and mascot in July 2020 following decades of Native-led advocacy on the issue.
