In those discussions, our focus has been on the key issues of the impact of the merger on adoption and jobs. Based on our due diligence, we have now reached the definitive view that the merger deserves to be approved," the National Urban League wrote to the FCC June 20, in a <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20141024175801/http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/ecfs/document/view?id=7021688692 " target="_blank">joint filing</a> with the National Action Network.</p> <p>Rayford Wilkins, AT&T's CEO of diversified businesses, is a trustee on the National Urban League's board.</p> <p>A similar perceived conflict of interest proved toxic last week for the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, which came under fire from gay bloggers for weighing in on the AT&T/T-Mobile deal while a former AT&T executive and registered lobbyist, Troup Coronado, sat on the board. Amid the backlash, GLAAD President Jarrett Barrios and eight board members — including Coronado — resigned.</p> <p>So far, other key minority groups haven’t experienced the same type of internal turmoil for backing AT&T’s proposed T-Mobile purchase.</p> <p>But the groups are increasingly becoming targets of criticism over how influential corporations — especially those like AT&T that donate millions of dollars to nonprofit groups each year — should be in the work of advocates for the poor, minorities, gays and lesbians and other groups that have faced disadvantages or discrimination.</p> <p>“There are long-standing relationships AT&T has with these organizations that we think unfortunately have led some of them to take AT&T’s position on an issue that will negatively impact black people,” said Rashad Robinson, executive director of ColorofChange, an Oakland public interest group and outspoken opponent of the deal.</p> <p>Robinson said his group has not received funding from AT&T deal opponents Sprint, Free Press or Public Knowledge.</p> <p>AT&T Senior Executive Vice President Jim Cicconi told POLITICO in a statement that it’s “entirely natural” for the company to seek support for its acquisition, and opponents of the deal have been taking the same actions.</p> <p>“The difference is that we seem to be having success and they are not. We attribute that entirely to the obvious benefits of the merger and the history of what we have stood for as a company,” Cicconi said. “What seems unnecessary is for opponents to attack the motives and credibility of those who have chosen to support our position and not theirs.”</p> <p>Public Knowledge President Gigi Sohn said that “it’s great that AT&T is very active in a number of civil rights and civil liberties organizations … nobody has a problem with that.” The problem is, she continued, “when they use their position to try to influence a decision on a policy that’s not in the core expertise or core goals of the group — that’s when it crosses the line and that’s what happened with GLAAD.”</p> <p>The AT&T employees in leadership positions in groups that have written to support the company’s T-Mobile acquisition include:</p> <blockquote> <p>• <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20141024175801/http://www.linkedin.com/pub/norelie-garcia/6/858/304" target="_blank">Norelie Garcia</a>, associate vice president of federal affairs at AT&T, who is an executive committee chair on the National Puerto Rican Coalition’s <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20141024175801/http://www.bateylink.org/Board+of+Directors" target="_blank">board of directors</a>.
