All three major music labels -- Warner, Universal, and Sony -- just announced that they will stop PAC donations to Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, and the 145 other Republican Traitors who voted to overturn our democratic election. The industry group that represents them said this in a statement:
"RIAA condemns the attack on the U.S. Capitol. We support candidates who respect both the rule of law and the results of free and fair elections. In light of the events of January 6, we have reviewed the criteria for our political giving and are not contributing to those who voted against the peaceful transition of power."
And, please donate to our work pressing Congress to hold Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, and the 145 other Republican traitors accountable. There can be no unity until there is accountability! -- The PCCC Team

Well, this is amazing.
Corporate PACs are announcing they will stop donating to the traitors in Congress.
American Express promised to never again donate to ANY of the 147 congressional Republicans like Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley who voted to overturn our democratic election. Hallmark is demanding their money back!
The Washington Post reports a “deluge of announcements” by some corporations is creating pressure on others.
This #DrainTheTraitors effort builds on reporting by Judd Legum at Popular Information to increase the pressure on corporations to take decisive action. (Subscribe to Popular Information here.)
Hundreds of corporate PACs have been contacted. On our #DrainTheTraitors page, we tell you which response they have given:
- Great answers! Permanently have cut donations.
- Good, but temporary. We're pushing them to make permanent.
- False equivalence. Cutting "all" donations to everyone - very wimpy.
- Blah answers. "Reviewing" their policies.
- No comment or refused to take a stand.
If corporations want their customers, investors, and employees to know they stand with American democracy, they must take a stand now.
By thanking corporations that will never donate again to these 147 traitors, we can encourage other corporations to do the same. And by shaming brands that refuse -- or that want the positive PR without meaningfully standing up for democracy -- we can create pressure to change their mind.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
