Holding corporate America accountable: Over the past five years, many business leaders have spoken out against the worst abuses of the Trump administration. To hold them accountable for their promise not to normalize cruel and undemocratic actions by hiring former members of the Trump administration, we’ve joined with American Oversight to launch an updated Campaign Against Corporate Complicity website.

The campaign urges corporate America to scrutinize former Trump officials seeking to sell their involvement in this administration as a qualification rather than a disgrace. We’ve identified three core areas where the Trump administration crossed a line in challenging our democratic norms: undermining democracy and inciting violence, attacking immigrants and promoting white supremacy, and propagating a failed COVID-19 response.

While AT&T’s CEO has publicly spoken out in favor of expanding voting rights, their political contributions have told a different story.

On ADA Anniversary, Lawmakers Consider Voter Restrictions That Would Hurt Texans with Disabilities

Help us raise awareness of our Campaign Against Corporate Complicity by liking and retweeting our announcement of our updated website.

Many corporations spoke out against the abuses of the Trump administration as they happened. But now that former administration officials are looking for new jobs, it’s imperative that these businesses don’t reward the architects of anti-democratic policies with high-paying jobs.
