American Family Association Moves to New Online Payment System, After PayPal Pulls Jobs Over North Carolina Bathroom Law
TUPELO, Miss.—American Family Association (AFA, www.afa.net) has announced that the pro-family organization is partnering with Cornerstone Payment Systems® as its preferred credit card processing provider. Earlier this spring, PayPal punished the state of North Carolina for passing a law requiring men and women to visit the restroom according to the gender on their birth certificate. After the announcement, AFA severed its ties with PayPal and canceled its account.
According to President Tim Wildmon, Cornerstone shares AFA’s values and also works with other like-minded organizations across the U.S. and Canada.
“It’s true that PayPal has the free-market right to deny services to North Carolinians based on their beliefs—even if that belief is in opposition to a state’s commonsense approach to the safety and privacy of its citizens,” Wildmon said. “But by the same token, we must hold companies accountable when they are not in line with our beliefs. Therefore, soon after PayPal’s announcement to pull hundreds of potential jobs and millions of dollars in expansion in North Carolina, American Family Association canceled our use of PayPal and encouraged our supporters and other organizations to do the same. Along with refusing to do business with companies that go against our values, we believe in doing business with companies that align with our values.”
