<div><strong>Hello, I've been a Delta Flight Attendant for nearly 18 years. My friends and colleagues know me by Palmer.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Following a Facebook post that some thought was against the company's social media policy, I am no longer employed with the airline. <strong>This is just the beginning. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My career pivot is forced to turn; <strong>the threat to freedom of speech and expression is just beginning to twist, at Delta and elsewhere. </strong>I will make the best decisions for myself at the moment, and am already taking the opportunity to choose what's best for myself and my family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>It's embarrassing to ask, yet this is will continue to test my financial and mental health. I will need help</em>. It is anyone's guess how long this will drag on. <strong>In the meanwhile, I've been out of work, without pay.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>My freedom to express myself shouldn't be beholden to my employment.</strong> And neither should yours, even when we disagree. This decision is a disgusting overreach that will only introduce more trigger words and actions into the workplace. <strong>It must stop, and my separation from the company won't be enough: others will find themselves exactly where I sit, unemployed.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>If and as you're able, I ask you to consider a financial contribution.</strong> I vow to use those responsibly to fight the company, the government that pulls their strings, and for our rights, something that shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. <strong><em>This is not right. </em>The ability to express yourself freely is being hijacked. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Regardless, protect yourself. Know your rights, especially those your employer takes away once you clock in. And, <strong>NEVER CAPITULATE</strong> to anyone who tries to silence you.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>NEVER</strong>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
