The Wall Street Journal reports that an heiress to the Publix Super Markets fortune donated hundreds of thousands of dollars that funded Trump's Jan 6 rally that became the violent attack on Congress that killed 5.
Since then, Publix has distanced themselves from the heiress who the company says has no role with Publix -- but they have remained silent and ignored inquiries about how they’ll respond to the 147 Republican traitors who later that same day voted to overturn our democracy.
Can you urge Publix Super Markets to take a stand and commit that their corporate PAC will permanently stop donating to all 147 of the Republican traitors?
Our #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.)
This is grassroots activism at work:
Universal Music Group, Intel, Charles Schwab, Exelon, and Holland & Hart have all recently announced they will permanently stop making PAC donations to the Republican traitors. Thank them here -- and urge them to go a step further and request refunds for all past donations -- like Hallmark did.
Amazon, Comcast, Disney, Pfizer, Morgan Stanley, Oracle, and others have "suspended" PAC donations to the Republican traitors. That's a start, but it's not good enough. Thank these companies for that much, and pressure them to make the decision permanent.
Many other corporations need much more pressure because they have so far failed to take appropriate action.
Dozens of corporations have suspended all of their PAC donations, creating a false equivalency between the Republicans who voted to overturn our democracy and everybody else who did not. That may be a public relations strategy, but it's not accountability -- and it does nothing for our democracy. Pressure corporations to permanently stop making PAC donations specifically to the 147 Republican traitors who voted to overturn our democratic election results.
Still other corporations have taken even weaker stands, saying they are "reviewing" their PAC donation policies.
And, chip in to blast our TV ad giving Dems the homerun argument for convicting Trump onto the airwaves in DC leading up to the impeachment trial so ever senator knows about it. (Watch the ad here.)
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
