Help Sawyer — Fired for Supporting Candace Owens
Donation protected
My name is Sawyer Brandt and I was recently terminated from my former employer, The Daily Wire, for standing up for the character of Candace Owens. I do not have a lot of extra funds and I am seeking some help while I am in transition to a new job. I went to college at Biola University in La Mirada California to earn my bachelors degree in Cinema & Media Arts with an emphasis in Production. By attending Biola, I wanted to receive a quality, private Chrisitan education and even though it was expensive and I did not have personal funds for college, I decided it was worth it to take out student loans. After I graduated with my bachelors I worked various jobs, but I wanted to land a job with a company that held similar values to mine. Eventually I was able to find that job with the Daily Wire. I was so excited for this position that I chose to move across the country for it.
My work was pleasant and going fine until I stood up for the character of one of my friends and former superiors, Candace Owens. The Daily Wire did not like this and terminated me on Friday June 31st without warning. I was fired for sending Candace a personal email of moral support when the Daily Mail accused her of abusing her former team. I said nothing negative about the Daily Wire in my email to her. In my meeting with HR, they notified me that they were able to access my private email correspondence because, although I sent the communication from my personal email address on my personal device, I accidentally left my personal email logged into one of their computers. I am still confused as to why stating that I wasn’t abused would be grounds for termination.
I was caught off guard by being terminated for standing up for someone’s character and as a Christian, I believe in standing up for the truth and not wavering in my morals. As such, I stand by my decision to support Candace Owens; however, I am now needing some help to pay for food, rent, medical expenses, and my student loans while I am in the transition to a new job.
Thank you for your support,
Sawyer Brandt
