John,

Racist politicians David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler could be re-elected in
the coming runoff election in Georgia, but they need funds to bankroll
their campaigns.

[ [link removed] ]Tell Delta to be a true ally in the fight for racial justice, and stop
giving money to people who advance their political careers at the expense
of Black and Brown people.

Thanks for all you do,

Delta Airlines has pledged its commitment to racial justice in public
statements, but continues to bankroll racist politicians like David Perdue
and Kelly Loeffler.

Subject: Why is this major airline bankrolling hate?

 John,

Delta Airlines has positioned itself as an ally to the #BlackLivesMatter
movement.

But its political donations tell a very different story. The mega airline
donated thousands of dollars this election cycle to Georgia Senate
candidates David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler -- two senators who are
actively trying to advance their political careers at the expense of Black
and Brown people.

We need to show Delta that this hypocrisy is not OK.

[ [link removed] ]Demand Delta Airlines stop bankrolling racist politicians and cut all
ties with David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler.

Earlier this year, Delta’s CEO Ed Bastian pledged that the company would
“take a stand against racism and injustice,” and would use its resources
to make the world more just for Black and Brown people.

But when Kelly Loeffler falsely claimed that the #BlacklivesMatter
movement would “destroy American principles,” the company stayed silent.
And when David Perdue willfully mispronounced Kamala Harris’ name at a
recent campaign rally -- a racist act that Black and Brown people are all
too familiar with -- the company yet again chose silence.

Instead of taking a stand against racism and injustice like they promised
to do, Delta has chosen to contribute thousands of dollars to keep these
racist senators in office.

[ [link removed] ]Call out Delta’s hypocrisy: Tell it to stop bankrolling racist
politicians.

Together, we sent a resounding message at the ballot box that this country
needs to do better in its commitment to Black and Brown communities.

Now we need to remind mega companies like Delta Airlines that we won’t
allow it to ride the coattails of the #BlackLivesMatter movement while
bankrolling politicians who would see all progress stamped out if
re-elected.

[ [link removed] ]Sign the petition and tell Delta Airlines now is the time for action,
not empty words.
