Salesforce—Salesforce offered to help employees relocate from Texas after state abortion ban, becoming first major tech company to do so
In September 2021, after Texas SB 8 became law banning abortion after 6 weeks, Salesforce told employees via Slack it would help them and their families relocate if concerned about ability to access reproductive care. CEO Marc Benioff tweeted 'Ohana if you want to move we'll help you exit TX. Your choice.' Salesforce was the first major tech company to offer relocation assistance specifically in response to abortion restrictions.
