Friend,
At Vote From Home, we are strong believers that we should not only push back against politicians who support voter suppression, but also anyone in a position of power who enables those politicians. Major corporations who stay silent in the face of these attacks on voting rights are complicit themselves -- they have the ability to influence policy like few people in this country can, and with that power comes a moral responsibility to use it when our rights are being stripped away.
That’s why we are working to make sure that corporate America speaks out against the surge of bills that aim to suppress the vote. These are moves by Republicans to ensure they can stay in power, despite the will of the voters, and now these corporations have a choice, help us fight to protect our right to vote or side with the Republicans trying to roll it back.
Please sign our pledge to not support companies that are either supportive or silent about voter suppression:

When Georgia passed its voter suppression bill, Atlanta-based Delta first issued a statement supporting the bill. But after pressure from advocates like us, Delta reversed course.
After that grassroots pressure, American Airlines and Dell came out against the Texas voter suppression bill.
Yesterday, a coalition of over 150 companies, including HP, Microsoft, and Uber, publicly opposed the bills that threaten to make voting more difficult. On top of that, Major League Baseball itself has also announced that the All-Star Game will no longer be in Atlanta in protest to the state’s discriminatory voting bill.
The pressure is working! We’re also mindful that after January 6th, many companies pledged to no longer donate to the Republicans that supported the riot. And last summer, we also saw multiple companies pledged to elevate black voices and support racial equity. Some kept their promises. Some didn’t.
But we need to make sure these statements are not empty promises. We cannot let down the pressure.
Just to be clear, opposing voter suppression, not funding insurrectionists, and promoting racial equity does not make corporate America perfect. But their imperfections do not absolve them of their clear moral responsibility in this matter. We must do whatever we can to hold them accountable to that.
Join us in keeping up the pressure. Sign the pledge here.
