People For Member,

S.B. 8, the extreme Texas law banning abortion, is now officially in
effect. Now right-wing lawmakers across the country have become emboldened
to pass similar legislation in states like Florida, Arkansas, South
Carolina, and others.

And despite the national outcry over these barbaric measures, corporations
that once claimed to be supportive of reproductive health and gender
equity are now astonishingly silent – and still cutting checks to some of
the very politicians that supported S.B.8 and laws like it.

Corporations already have an enormous and deeply problematic influence in
our government, but when they’re helping to fund the campaigns of
anti-choice zealots in state legislatures across the country, we must
speak out against it even louder.

[ [link removed] ]Sign the petition now and demand that corporations stop funneling money
to anti-choice politicians! >>

Astonishingly, in the last year alone corporations have given more than
$5.9 MILLION to the Texas legislators who sponsored S.B.8.^[1] Of those
companies, more than 86 of them are on the Fortune 500 list.

It’s inexcusable that these corporations say one thing about their support
for reproductive health while their actions (and money) prove otherwise.

While we continue fighting to eliminate the influence of corporations and
secret money in our government, we need to increase public pressure on
them to stop donating to far-right politicians who enact laws like S.B.8.

[ [link removed] ]Add your name and join the thousands of people across the country
demanding that corporations stop donating to these far-right
politicians >>

Thanks for all that you do.

In solidarity,

Zach, People For the American Way
