[1]Women's March
John,
Last week, we emailed you to sound the alarm that Republicans in Georgia
had passed a slate of Jim Crow-esque legislation to severely limit access
to the ballot for Black and Brown voters.
We then asked this team to join us in demanding big Georgia companies like
Home Depot, Delta, Netflix, and Coca Cola to pledge to NEVER give a
financial contribution to the Republicans who supported these
unconstitutional laws.
Well, John, our
pressure is already beginning to work.
In response to mounting public pressure, the CEOs of both Delta and
Coca-Cola have made public statements condemning these racist voting
measures. But we need them to go further. We must demand that these
companies complete cut off their financial support for the politicians who
supported this slate of Jim Crow legislation.
Our voices are already being heard,
John, but we need every single
Women's Marcher to sign on to our petition to Georgia corporations to
never support the Republicans who supported these unconstitutional voter
suppression laws. [ [link removed] ]Add your name to the petition right now. It only
takes a moment, and will help make a big difference in our ability to hold
these Republicans accountable for this racist legislation.

Thank you for speaking out,

URGENT: Republicans passed a slate of Jim Crow-esque legislation to
further voter suppression in Georgia.
We need to fight back by hitting them where it hurts most: their money.
[ [link removed] ]Will you add your name and join thousands of other activists calling
on companies working in Georgia including Home Depot, Netflix, and Coca
Cola to make a pledge to NEVER give a financial contribution to the
Republicans who supported these unconstitutional laws?

This is not what a democracy looks like,
John.
Last night, Georgia Republicans passed sweeping election regulations in
another attempt to suppress our votes and further Trump’s narrative that
the 2020 election was stolen from him. The legislation they passed will:
❌ Reduce what hours Georgians are able to vote
❌ Prohibit organizations from giving food and water to voters waiting in
line (hours long lines in Georgia are extremely common)
❌ Highly restrict places where folks can drop off their mail-in ballots
❌ Add burdensome requirements for voters to confirm their identity
Let’s be clear about what this is all about: Republicans are furious that
women, Brown, and Black voters turned out in historic numbers to flip
Georgia. Now, they’re doing everything they can to take away our
grassroots power.
Here’s how we’re going to fight back: Voting rights organizations are
calling on influential companies that do work in Georgia like Delta,
Coca-Cola, Southern Company, Home Depot Inc, United Parcel Service Inc,
Disney, Netflix, and Aflac Inc to stand against this blatant voter
suppression attempt and pledge to never again give donations to the
Republicans who passed these laws.

This is a blatant attack on the election process and an attempt to
suppress our grassroots power.
And it’s not the first time Republicans have fought to bend the rules in
the South.
Leading up to the election, Lindsey Graham relied on voter suppression
tactics, gerrymandering, and a Trump-style playbook to win his own Senate
race. After the numbers came out showing a Biden victory, Trump issued
threats and asked Georgia officials to “find 11,780 votes” to overturn
Biden’s win in the state.
There is a long and dark history in Georgia and across our country of
politicians suppressing Brown and Black votes. The legislation that was
passed yesterday is a terrifying reminder of the Jim Crow laws that were
used for decades to restrict our right to vote.
[ [link removed] ]It’s critical we respond to this latest attack on voters’ rights in
full force. Please add your name now to our petition: It takes less than
one minute to sign and call on influential companies in Georgia to uphold
their promises to support Black Lives.
Keep fighting,
Women’s March
