Today, T-Mobile unveiled the members of its External Diversity and Inclusion Council. The group was created as part of T-Mobile’s groundbreaking multi-year, $25 million civil rights memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed last year with six diversity and civil rights organizations. The council includes a representative from each of the organizations that co-signed the MOU and others from outside T-Mobile who are leaders in their respective communities.

core/paragraph

The men and women of the council include some of America’s most accomplished civil rights leaders, representing a wide-range of underrepresented communities. Together with T-Mobile, the council will help identify ways to improve the company’s efforts in focus areas of the MOU such as corporate governance, workforce recruitment and retention, procurement and entrepreneurship, wireless services – including 5G wireless services – for low income consumers, and philanthropy and community investment.

On September 21, the Brand Social Team was able to #ClearTheList for one hundred teachers in need.

Most teachers in America spend their own money prepping classrooms with learning materials for the school year ahead. But on Monday, September 21, one hundred teachers were delighted to find their Amazon Wish List items ordered and on their way thanks to T-Mobile and its participation in <a href="https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.clearthelistfoundation.org%2F&data=02%7C01%7CShawna.Ryan16%40T-Mobile.com%7Cf7313f46c89f4848a11d08d85a984915%7Cbe0f980bdd994b19bd7bbc71a09b026c%7C0%7C0%7C637358957401481348&sdata=QL2Wtef6TzbyCa2VGfC0vGwWlXsKQFYV04EtkJvYetk%3D&reserved=0">ClearTheList</a>, a foundation and social movement focused on providing schools with tools for success.

For the second year in a row, T-Mobile has tapped into Twitter to give back to teachers by donating to the #ClearTheList movement. It all began in 2019, when members of the company’s brand community social team identified participating teachers using the hashtag and cleared the list of as many as they could in a single day.

“They helped twenty-seven teachers and classrooms with a total of 636 class supplies given,” says Shannon Johnson, a Sr. Manager of Social Media at T-Mobile, referring to her community social team’s charitable efforts.

“Typically, any given school year, teachers don’t have all the supplies they need to make their classrooms as successful and manageable as they possibly can,” explains Johnson. “ClearTheList helps amplify teachers [looking for support] and their wish lists, spreading their requests and giving people or brands the chance to go in and purchase those items.”

A year later, in August 2020, employees took their list-clearing commitment even further. Each day of the month, a teacher who used the #ClearTheList hashtag was chosen and the brand attempted to clear their entire list, surprising a total of thirty teachers around the country, including Tre Butler.

“We are still learning virtually but with this program I received headphones so I can teach online more effectively,” said the Florida Pre-K teacher. “I also received diverse reading books, sensory items, toys for reinforcement, and even plastic face covers for when students return to the classroom.”

ClearTheList’s founder took notice of the brand’s efforts and helped T-Mobile organize logistics to do even more good, surprising one hundred more teachers on September 21. As many educators ramp up for a uniquely challenging COVID-friendly school year, the more lists that can be cleared, the better!

“The ClearTheList social media movement helps drive awareness for the amount of money teachers are paying out of their own pockets every single year,” Courtney Jones says. “I just want to give a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has joined the ClearTheList movement and to T-Mobile for stepping up and impacting classrooms all across the nation.”

Just like America wouldn’t be the same without its Hispanic community, T-Mobile wouldn’t be the Un-carrier without its Hispanic employees and customers. Or in other words, no hay uno without the other.

During this year’s Hispanic Heritage Month, which takes place Sept. 15-Oct. 15, T-Mobile is celebrating and honoring the enduring influence of the Hispanic community, past, present and future. With the theme of Orgullosos de Nuestro Pasado. Enfrentando el Presente. Impactando el Futuro. (Proud of our Past. Facing the Present. Impacting the Future.), the Un-carrier will celebrate in a big way with customers and employees alike during HHM through community giving, events and more!

Comunidad/Community

To honor the past and embrace the future, T-Mobile is giving back to two organizations that serve unique needs within the Hispanic and Latino communities near its Bellevue, Wash. headquarters. As part of T-Mobile’s Community Spotlight program with the Seattle Mariners, the company donated $10,000 to the Latino Community Fund initiatives, which cultivates new Hispanic leaders and supports cultural and nonprofit organizations to create a vibrant community in Washington state through civic engagement, healthy families, arts and culture. It is also doubling employee donations to El Centro de la Raza made during the month. El Centro de la Raza drives racial and economic equity efforts focused on Hispanic and minority communities in Seattle.

In another nod toward embracing the future, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/metrobytmobile/">Metro by T-Mobile</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MetroByTMobileLatino/">Metro by T-Mobile Latino</a> are giving a boost to Hispanic/Latino students through a social media giveaway aimed at helping out with school supplies and tuition. Hispanic and Latino students who share their thoughts on what their Hispanic/Latino identity means to them, how they celebrate their culture and how they’ll use the funds for school will have a chance to be chosen for one of 30 $1,000 awards!

T-Mobile is the most diverse major wireless company in the nation and a recognized Best Employer for Diversity and Latinos, so it’s no surprise that Team Magenta is all in during HHM. The Un-carrier’s 55 Diversity, Equity and Inclusion chapters across the country will give their employee members an opportunity to learn and share throughout the month with virtual panel discussions, cultural exchanges and guest speakers that will explore the topics of culture, history, representation and equity. Employees can connect with each other and reflect on their Hispanic heritage and culture, while the T-Mobile DE&I Learning podcast and employee spotlight videos produced by T Studios will circulate on brand social handles, web, YouTube and T-Nation. Employees can use the hashtag #SeguimosUnidos on social throughout the month.

Conexiones/Connections

T-Mobile is known for its exceptional customer service and support of Spanish speakers, but the Un-carrier also has a proud history of connecting customers with voices from the community that are meaningful to them. This HHM, the Un-carrier is proud to expand its partnership this year with Latino influencer and author LeJuan James. LeJuan is a bilingual writer, comedian and filmmaker whose first advertisement with the Un-carrier premiered in August 2020 at the Premios Juventud award show. Now he — and his mamá, too — are excited to share all the new and exciting offers and products that T-Mobile has in store. In the coming months, new content with LeJuan will continue to be shared on T-Mobile and T-Mobile Latino social media and air on Spanish-language channels.

Over the month T-Mobile will also post a content series on its newsroom featuring Hispanic employees and community leaders reflecting on the theme of past, present and future. Featured employees will share their experiences observing HHM, working at T-Mobile and supporting the company’s customers. Featured community leaders will speak to their partnerships with T-Mobile and the commitments the Un-carrier has made to advance diversity, equity and inclusion in the Hispanic community and beyond, including the multimillion-dollar <a href="https://nul.org/news/civil-rights-groups-sign-groundbreaking-diversity-agreement-t-mobile-us">memorandum of understanding</a> that the company signed with 6 civil rights organizations as part of its merger with Sprint.

Check out <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/careers/culture-and-benefits/diversity">T-Mobile’s diversity, equity and inclusion website</a> to learn more about how DE&I are part of the Un-carrier DNA during Hispanic Heritage Month and beyond!

Contest open all residents of the fifty (50) United States, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia who are at least eighteen (18) years of age, identify as Hispanic/Latinx and enrolled in college. 9/15/20-9/18/20.

BELLEVUE, Wash. — September 18, 2020 — We won’t stop using #5GforGood. Today, T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) announced that state and local non-profit first responder agencies can now save big on Samsung smartphones. Starting this week, agencies equipping their first responders with Connecting Heroes’ free unlimited talk, text and smartphone data can get up to 25% off Samsung smartphones for a limited time through twenty-four monthly bill credits. That includes the Galaxy Note20 5G Series, Galaxy S20 5G Series, Galaxy A71 5G, Galaxy A51 5G and Galaxy A21. Samsung’s 5G smartphones can access T-Mobile's nationwide 5G network, the country’s largest, in cities and towns across the country. It’s all part of T-Mobile’s commitment to use the nation’s first and largest 5G network for good.

“First responders are on the frontlines every day, keeping us safe and protecting us when we need them most. We want to give them the tools they need to do their jobs effectively, so they don’t have to worry about having service or being able to reach their colleagues,” said Mike Katz, EVP, T-Mobile for Business. “We are pulling out the stops to help our first responders get and stay connected … now by providing savings on smartphones, too.”

Samsung understands the tough tradeoffs first responders face and is teaming up with T-Mobile to offer exclusive deals with Connecting Heroes to help agencies close the budget gap for essential wireless communications. By giving first responder agencies deep savings on the latest devices, including 5G smartphones, Samsung is putting leading-edge technology in the hands of first responders, ensuring they have the devices they need to do their jobs. Agencies that take advantage of the Samsung exclusive offer can save big.

“While pushing the bounds of 5G mobile technology, Samsung and T-Mobile both recognize the importance of first responders staying connected at the most critical times,” said Taher Behbehani, Head of the Mobile B2B Division, SVP and General Manager, Samsung Electronics America. “Samsung is honored to offer special access to some of our best 5G devices, supporting first responders’ call to connect and save lives.”

The brand-new Samsung Galaxy Note20 5G can tap into all the capacity of T-Mobile’s 5G network (600 MHz, 2.5 GHz and mmWave) and includes Samsung’s defense-grade Knox platform which allows agencies to manage entire fleets from one device and an S Pen with decreased latency that makes it easy to enter data or mark off specific locations on a map.

For agencies looking for financial assistance, Samsung has partnered with the Grants Office to provide public sector agencies, schools, colleges and healthcare institutions with a free grant consultation that helps develop project ideas, get technology-rich projects funded and even expand initiatives that are already in the works.

Connecting Heroes Across the Nation.

Connecting Heroes is one way T-Mobile is delivering on its promise to use America’s largest 5G network for good. With more towers, more engineers and more bandwidth than ever before, helping keep first responders connected when and where it matters most is one of the Un-carrier’s top priorities.

Transformative, Nationwide 5G Network for All.

Barely five months into its merger with Sprint, T-Mobile is already making strides to supercharge its network. T-Mobile’s 5G network now spans over 250 million people in more than 7,500 cities and towns across 1.3 million square miles, and customers get coverage in all 50 states and Puerto Rico. T-Mobile’s 5G network is bigger than AT&T and Verizon 5G networks combined. In global studies, T-Mobile customers get <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.opensignal.com/2020/05/20/quantifying-the-global-5g-experience-across-ten-operators" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.opensignal.com/2020/05/20/quantifying-the-global-5g-experience-across-ten-operators" target="_blank">5G more often</a> than anyone else measured. <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.opensignal.com/reports/2020/06/usa/mobile-network-experience-5g" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.opensignal.com/reports/2020/06/usa/mobile-network-experience-5g" target="_blank">T-Mobile ranks first</a> — by a LOT — for 5G availability with customers getting a 5G signal more than 22% of the time compared to just 0.4% for Verizon customers with 5G phones.

Plus, the Un-carrier continues to expand its <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/news/network/5g-speeds-supercharged-for-millions-more-people?cmpid=TFB_PR_U_1STRSPNDRS_0EJN2EG3JD0NFC55058963" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.t-mobile.com/news/network/5g-speeds-supercharged-for-millions-more-people?cmpid=TFB_PR_U_1STRSPNDRS_0EJN2EG3JD0NFC55058963" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">already nationwide 5G</a> network with supercharged mid-band 5G now live in nearly 90 cities and towns, including locations with Connecting Heroes first responder agencies, like Los Angeles, Calif. By the end of the year, customers will find mid-band 5G in thousands of cities and towns across the country. Mid-band 5G delivers peak download speeds approaching 1 Gbps and average speeds of around 300 Mbps, which is 7.5x faster than T-Mobile’s average LTE speeds today. And this is only the beginning.

T-Mobile’s nationwide 5G network comes in addition to the company’s 4G LTE network, covering more than 99% of Americans.

The Un-carrier also announces nationwide program will expand to address new remote learning needs created by COVID-19 pandemic.  

What’s the news: Today T-Mobile is officially launching Project 10Million, an unprecedented $10.7B initiative aimed at delivering internet connectivity to millions of underserved student households at no cost to them. Partnering with school districts across the country, the program offers free wireless hotspots, free high-speed data and access to laptops and tablets, at-cost. And as the COVID-19 pandemic makes remote learning the new norm for millions of students across the U.S., the Un-carrier is expanding Project 10Million to offer more data options, including unlimited, for school districts to pass on to eligible student households at no cost to them.

Why it matters: Even before the pandemic, more than 9 million of America’s 56 million school-age kids did not have access to reliable internet and could not complete after-school assignments. This critical homework gap has tremendous short- and long-term impacts: lower test scores, lower grades and limited opportunities after graduation. Now, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, an unprecedented 50 million students are learning remotely. Those without reliable internet connectivity will face an even bigger schoolwork gap as they are unable to participate in any type of online classroom learning.

Who it’s for: Unconnected students trying to keep up in school, parents who watch their kids struggle because they can’t afford internet access, and the teachers who are tackling the everyday challenge of teaching kids who can’t get connected at home.

Bellevue, Washington — September 3, 2020 — With the need for equitable access to the internet more crucial than ever, T-Mobile has zeroed in on a bold goal: helping every single unconnected student in the U.S. get access to the internet connectivity they need to learn. In a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mi8OMEoaMkc" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">video</a> today, T-Mobile CEO Mike Sievert announced that the Un-carrier’s $10.7 billion Project 10Million commitment is taking a big step toward accomplishing this vision. The program is now live and available to school districts.

But T-Mobile didn’t stop there. In response to the unique learning challenges students are experiencing in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Un-carrier is expanding Project 10Million by giving school districts additional plan options with more data to best meet their students’ current needs.

T-Mobile previously committed to kick off Project 10Million once its merger with Sprint was complete, and now, as the supercharged Un-carrier, it is following through on that promise and putting its combined resources and network capacity to work. Through Project 10Million, T-Mobile is addressing the persistent homework gap experienced by more than 9 million children across the country who are unable to get online to complete at-home assignments. Project 10Million offers free wireless hotspots, up to 100GB per year of free high-speed data, and access to at-cost tablets and laptops, or the equivalent value of approximately $500 annually per student household.

Additionally, as COVID-19 forces up to 50 million students out of the physical classroom and into part- or full-time remote learning, the need for connectivity and greater bandwidth has dramatically increased. What was a homework gap has turned into an even more massive schoolwork gap, when students without internet access are completely left out of learning.

To address this urgent need, the Un-carrier has expanded Project 10Million by allowing participating school districts to apply the value of the free program to one of two new plans with MORE data. Schools can choose a 100GB per month option or a fully unlimited plan. The best part is that every district gets free wireless hotspots and access to at-cost laptops and tablets, and they have the flexibility to pick the solution that works best for their district. And it’s all still free to students. Interested school districts can sign up today at <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="http://www.t-mobile.com/p10m" target="_blank">www.t-mobile.com/p10m</a>.

“Education is the great leveler, but without internet access, kids will be left behind. T-Mobile has a big goal – to deliver connectivity to every child who needs it across the U.S. Starting now with our historic Project 10Million commitment, we’re going to help open A LOT of doors to opportunity that might have previously been closed,” said T-Mobile CEO Mike Sievert. “This issue is even more critical as the COVID-19 pandemic has completely shifted learning for many from the classroom to online. Big issues need big solutions, and that’s exactly why we’re not just launching but significantly enhancing Project 10Million and giving flexibility to educators so they can best address the unique needs of their students with plans that offer more data. As the supercharged Un-carrier, we now have the resources and network capacity to deliver reliable connectivity to students across the U.S. — and to tackle the critical homework gap and the schoolwork gap head-on!”

As classroom learning continues to shift to online learning, the need for internet connectivity is growing. It’s a problem T-Mobile has been working on closely with schools, state governments and technology partners since the pandemic started.

The expanded reach and capacity of T-Mobile’s network plays a crucial role in the Un-carrier’s ability to make reliable connectivity truly accessible to students across the U.S. This includes those in urban centers as well as underserved areas like rural America, where 1.7 million households do not have high-speed home internet service. Future Project 10Million recipients will also benefit from T-Mobile’s expanded 5G over time with faster speeds and even broader coverage. 

Project 10Million builds on T-Mobile’s — and Sprint’s — longstanding focus on education and connecting students. Prior to merging in April 2020 and before the COVID-19 pandemic, T-Mobile and Sprint had already connected nearly half a million students, and as COVID-19 started to impact schools, the combined company stepped up its efforts. Since March 2020, T-Mobile has connected over 1.6 million students in more than 3,100 school districts across the country. This includes the company’s part in New York City’s plan to connect more than 350,000 students with iPads and data when classes resume virtually. And the Un-carrier has partnered with the California Department of Education and Apple to connect up to another 1 million students as schools across the state prepare to start the next school year virtually.

“Since the start of the pandemic, T-Mobile and Sprint have worked hand-in-hand with school districts, state governments and technology partners to bring connectivity solutions to those who need it most, connecting more than 1.6 million students in less than six months,” said Mike Katz, executive vice president of T-Mobile for Business. “During the pandemic, we’ve had countless conversations with school districts and educators. We’ve consistently heard that they need more options that fit the unique needs of their students. We have expanded Project 10Million to tap into T-Mobile’s network resources and capacity, and take our support of educators and students to a whole new level. We’re going to make a HUGE difference for millions of students!”

Project 10Million is the third and final component of the Un-carrier 1.0 5G for Good commitments that the company announced before its merger with Sprint was approved. Since the completion of the merger, the company has now launched all three commitments, which also include <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/business/government/first-responders-connecting-heroes" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Connecting Heroes</a> and <a href="https://prepaid.t-mobile.com/prepaid-plans/connect" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">T-Mobile Connect</a>.

T-Mobile Tuesdays superfans share their excitement as Sprint customers are welcomed to the T-Mobile family this week with a massive summer of offers

Showing appreciation for customers is in the very DNA of the Un-carrier, and was central to the launch of T-Mobile Tuesdays — a rewards program built off the Un-carrier’s radically different thinking on how brands should thank customers — in the summer of 2016.

In the 200-plus weeks since, customers have been given everything from free tacos and Impossible® Whoppers® to discounts on Redbox rentals and regular fill-ups at Shell through the Fuel Rewards® program, even free trials to streaming services like YouTube Premium and TIDAL Premium — some $900 million in thankings in all.

But possibly the biggest thankings begin today, when Sprint customers get welcomed to those weekly T-Mobile Tuesdays giveaways and discounts, too.

“Four years ago, T-Mobile Tuesdays flipped the script on the traditional loyalty program. We believe customers shouldn’t have to spend more or collect points to be appreciated — especially right now. At T-Mobile, it’s about getting thanked, simply because you’re with us … and we’re with you,” said T-Mobile CEO Mike Sievert last week. “And now, <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/news/offers/t-mobile-welcomes-sprint-to-t-mobile-tuesdays-with-blockbuster-summer-lineup" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">we welcome Sprint customers</a> with our biggest thankings ever this summer. Why? Because thank you. That’s why.”

But just how big of a deal is it to be part of the T-Mobile Tuesdays family?

“A few years ago I was having lunch in Los Angeles at L.A. Live before the American Music Awards, of which T-Mobile was a presenting sponsor,” recalls Mike Belcher, VP, Business Development & Partnerships in T-Mobile’s marketing department, who oversaw the development and rollout of T-Mobile Tuesdays. “When I gave my credit card to the waitress, she noticed the magenta color and asked if I worked at T-Mobile. When I said yes, she told me that she had been with T-Mobile for several years. I thanked her and asked her what she liked about T-Mobile. Without hesitation, she said, ‘I love T-Mobile Tuesdays!’ The person at lunch with me informed her that I was responsible for creating T-Mobile Tuesdays. She was so excited. She even started to get emotional when she explained how much T-Mobile Tuesdays meant to her being a single mother. The discounts on gas, free food and movie tickets made a real difference in her life.”

Turns out, there are a lot of other T-Mobile Tuesdays fans, too. Here are a few testimonials (submitted through the T-Mobile Tuesdays app) from current customers sharing what they love about the weekly thankings — and a look into what Sprint customers have coming their way:

“From the first time I used T-Mobile Tuesdays, it was fun and made the second day of the work week a blast. During the coronavirus pandemic, T-Mobile Tuesdays has been a source of stability ... something that has remained consistent and still marks the day on an otherwise empty calendar. Thank you for the fun and moral support!”

“T-Mobile Tuesdays is the best. You get so many deals and things for free, like free Starbucks gift cards, free Taco Bell, and more. They even have reserved tickets for concerts like the Jonas Brothers and Post Malone. It’s insane. I love T-Mobile and this amazing program they’ve created. It’s truly amazing — please download and try, you will love it!”

“I switched from AT&T over a year ago and, wow, what a great decision. T-Mobile Tuesdays is a great way to save and take advantage of all the perks T-Mobile provides its customers. It has been fun and rewarding. I truly feel appreciated and thanked! Rock on, T-Mobile Tuesdays!”

“There are so many wireless companies out there, but only one that shows their customers how much they appreciate them every week. My wife and I text each other each week to say, ‘Make sure to check your T-Mobile Tuesdays app!’ It’s helped make for some fun date nights with pizza and a movie!”

“I’m loving T-Mobile Tuesdays. It makes me feel appreciated as customer. My daughter likes T-Mobile customer service, but when I introduced her to T-Mobile Tuesdays, she fell in love with T-Mobile even more. Now we both promote T-Mobile’s awesome sauce!”

“Extending thankfulness from myself and my family circle to T-Mobile and the T-Mobile Tuesdays team for creating the app, and all the thoughtful giftings and savings given. Much Appreciation. I am thank-FULL!”

“It has been a wonderful experience full of great gifts, deals and surprises. I look forward to every Tuesday to see what wonderful things await me for a great week ahead!”

“It’s like getting a birthday present every Tuesday!”

For Team Magenta, June is usually a month of rainbows.

It’s Pride month, and any other year at T-Mobile, our teams would be right in the middle of organizing parade attendance — scheduling, arranging transportation, and making sure employees are equipped with magenta and rainbow flags, fans, t-shirts, tutus, cowbells and more to celebrate. We’d have thousands of our employees make a strong showing at Pride celebrations across the country.

Our Pride plans at T-Mobile this June were already under revision, given the shift in parade schedules to allow for physical distancing and personal safety. Naturally, our employees have demanded a second revision to how our company looks at Pride this year, to prioritize the moment that is happening now.

To understand our shift for T-Mobile, we want to first acknowledge the history of Pride, which originated with celebrations one year after the Stonewall Riots took place in 1969. While the Stonewall Riots were a catalyst for bringing forth Pride celebrations the following year, it was the timing of the movement against a backdrop of civil rights advocacy — the second wave of the women’s rights movement, the rise of counterculture and anti-war sentiment, as well as the group of diverse people involved speaking up for the battle they want to fight — that made the movement possible.

Many in the crowd at Stonewall the night the raid took place, and in the protests following, were young, drag kings and queens, trans and Black or of color — and many credit transgender activist Marsha P. Johnson and drag king Storme DeLarvarie for sparking the demonstrations. It was the Black community that stood up and decided that the battle for LGBTQ+ equality was what needed to happen at that moment.

Right now, 50 years after the first Pride march, we’ve experienced a similar story of intersectionality at T-Mobile, aligned with many others around the country. The rainbow banners of Pride will be raised in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement. Our employees, specifically our LGBTQ+ and Black employees, have been clear on what they want to see. The conclusion is one that we saw back in 1969:

From the beginning, T-Mobile has embraced employees as a valued resource to inform the business on how to act. We are thankful that we not only have a diverse employee base, but that our culture of inclusivity allows all of us to speak up, be heard and take action. Pride participation at T-Mobile began much like it did for the world — as a grassroots movement that laid the groundwork for an influential, company-wide commitment.

Back in 2013, some 30 employees from our two call centers in Albuquerque took it upon themselves to represent T-Mobile in their local Pride parade. The following year, the news of these employees spearheading this participation traveled north to the company’s headquarters, where their enthusiasm inspired another hundred employees to not only march in, but also sponsor the Seattle Pride parade.

The team has added cities and parades since, leading up to last year’s <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/news/t-mobile-pride-2019">World Pride Parade in New York City</a> — the biggest on Earth — where hundreds of us marched alongside a giant float at the head of the parade and T-Mobile was the sole presenting sponsor. The massive support for Pride turned into a company stance — with T-Mobile publicly supporting initiatives like the the LGBTQ+ Equality Act, signing an <a href="https://www.hrc.org/blog/over-200-businesses-file-amicus-brief-in-support-of-lgbtq-workers">Amicus Brief</a> last summer on the Supreme Court Case on LGBTQ+ workers — which finally passed just this week.

This snowball effect started with our employees, who demanded we do more from the business, and made it happen. Which is a similar spirit that we are seeing now with social justice campaigns happening in the world in this very moment — originating as a grassroots movement.

As such, our support is rooted in our core belief that the best workplace welcomes everyone for exactly who they are. Yes, Pride month this year looks different not just because of the pandemic — but because we’re also witnessing American history in real-time. And this year, by re-evaluating our Pride participation and once again listening to our employees, their desires and needs, we were able to see a much-needed and overdue correction for historical injustice in this country.

Today’s movement for racial equality is overdue. Fifty years ago, the civil rights movement and the LGBTQ+ activism galvanized during the Stonewall Riots existed side-by-side. This year at T-Mobile, we will take up renewed racial justice efforts as our very recognition of Pride.

Over 39% (and growing) of T-Mobile employees are part of our <a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/careers/culture-and-benefits/diversity">six diversity and inclusion employee resource groups</a>, and these team members at every level and from every corner of our company set the agenda for Pride. This year it is abundantly clear that our Pride belongs to our Black colleagues and the Black community, and we’ll stand together to fight for overdue racial equality.

While you won’t see extra magenta in on the streets of Pride parades this June, our Pride and Allies Network and Multicultural Network Employee Resource Groups have come together to advise on ways we can prioritize racial justice this month. For instance, on social media, we’re suggesting that the brand and employees alike focus on amplifying Black voices. Internally, we are encouraging strong and healthy conversations, both in large meetings and small groups — to hear feedback from Black employees on what more we can all do.

We’re not coming together just to celebrate Pride — we’re coming together as Black colleagues and LGBTQ+ colleagues and allies, because we believe in the visibility and value of all of our teammates. We will listen to each other and teach each other, because each of us has a part to play in making T-Mobile a better company and making America a better country.

Black Lives Matter. Your Fight Is Our Fight.

BELLEVUE, Wash. — June 16, 2020 — This is the third year that nonprofit <a href="https://www.greenamerica.org/our-mission" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Green America</a> released its <a href="https://www.greenamerica.org/press-release/green-americas-2020-climate-energy-scorecard-wireless-carriers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Green America Wireless Scorecard</a>, which measures clean energy usage and reductions in greenhouse-gas emissions within the wireless industry... and this is the third year in a row that T-Mobile came out ahead of its competitors!

T-Mobile earned an A- grade for Clean Energy Commitment, while Sprint jumped up two full spots in the rankings – meaning the companies claimed the top two spots. Each company received a separate score because the rankings were based on 2019 data derived when they operated independently.

“Before the merger, T-Mobile and Sprint were individually making great progress toward ambitious sustainability goals, but now, as a combined company, the New T-Mobile is poised to do even bigger and better things!” said Janice V. Kapner, T-Mobile's Chief Communications Officer. “We are really proud of our track record when it comes to protecting the environment and we appreciate that Green America continues to recognize us as the clear leader in sustainability for the wireless industry.”

core/heading

T-Mobile has a history of pushing the competition forward through industry-leading firsts and its green energy use is no different. In 2018, the Un-carrier became the first major U.S. telecom to sign the RE100 commitment to power its entire business with 100% renewable energy by 2021. In less than two years, the company has made huge strides toward achieving this aggressive goal by signing eight major energy contracts that are either online or under contract to open in 2020. T-Mobile remains the ONLY major U.S. wireless company signed onto <a href="https://www.theclimategroup.org/RE100" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">RE100</a> and the ONLY one to have its carbon-reduction goals approved by the <a href="https://sciencebasedtargets.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Science Based Targets Initiative.</a>

Sprint previously ranked fourth on the scorecard in 2018 and 2019, but now claims the second spot on the list with a grade of B-. The jump is thanks to its commitment to source 100% renewable electricity across all operations (retail stores, offices, call centers and network sites) by 2025. And Sprint signed virtual power purchase agreements (VPPAs) for two wind energy projects set to come online in 2020 and 2021. Sprint also formed a partnership with Direct Energy Renewable Services and is now powering its 800-plus locations in Virginia with 100% renewable energy.

Supercharged Un-carrier is Bigger, Better AND Bringing More Green Energy to the Grid!

The combined T-Mobile and Sprint has committed to not just being a bigger company, but also a better company, too! Bringing two networks together and building the world's most transformative 5G network requires a lot of energy — a challenge that the Un-carrier knows presents an enormous opportunity. T-Mobile is transmitting more data per energy unit than ever before and renewable energy is helping the company become more carbon efficient. So, as the company continues to grow, it plans to bring even more green energy to the grid.

Now that the merger is complete, T-Mobile will assess its expanded footprint and announce a new RE100 target date in the coming months.

T-Mobile stands with the Black Community.  We firmly believe that racism, hatred and inequality have no place in our world - and every person has the right to feel safe, seen and heard.

At the same time, we know that systemic racism is real.  It has been persistent.  And it can’t be wished away.  If we want a better world, we have to ACT to create it.

We mourn the senseless killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and all of the victims of racial injustice across the country and around the world.  As George Floyd has been laid to rest, I want to be clear that we at T-Mobile are firm in our belief that Black Lives Matter - and we stand for change, for justice and for equity.

Across history, we’ve seen that real progress often follows real adversity, if it is addressed with intention and urgency.  Together we can and we must seize this moment–and sustain it into the future. 

At T-Mobile, we are committed to growing, learning and evolving.  We have spent the last two weeks listening more closely and learning from our Black employees and from voices all across this country.  We have been intently focused on identifying immediate steps we can take for our team, our company and our communities. 

The Un-carrier has long stood for Diversity, Equality and Inclusion – and that will not change.  We are committed to support a diverse market with a diverse organization.  We are a stronger company because of the diverse talent, diverse backgrounds and diverse experiences of our team today. 

So, we are making significant changes.  We will bring more diverse talent and better representation of minorities into leadership roles through new programs and processes that improve how we hire, how we recognize and reward people, and how we mentor or develop our talent to grow their careers.  We are taking steps, such as our decision this week to ensure every job we fill and every promotion we make should include a diverse slate of candidates for the opportunity - and our high potential management and executive talent programs will include significantly increased participation by people of color.  Intentional steps like these are an important start, and they are just the beginning.  We will also work to ensure better inclusion across our business, and deliver on plans to continue this conversation with our teams and educate them to ensure we have an inclusive workplace. 

We are also establishing programs to support Black businesses and minority communities across the country.  Much of this work is already underway as a result of the diversity partnership and Memorandum of Understanding we signed with six National Civil Rights organizations last year, including our commitment to fund their important work on behalf of all Americans with $25M in grants.  We recognize that we have an opportunity and the responsibility to take even more action – and we will.

Our magenta team remains committed to keeping families, colleagues and businesses connected during this complex and historic time.  While we do that, we will embrace this moment to use our position to help make change a reality.  We are listening and learning, and we accept the challenge to do more and to make a difference.

As a society and as a company, we simply must do better.  We’ve started this important work, and we’ll keep at it until real change is accomplished, and beyond.  That’s my commitment.
