Tell corporations like General Motors, UPS, and American Airlines to stop funding members of Congress who incited the January 6th insurrection.

Friend,

After the deadly attack at our Capitol in January, GM pledged to pause all political donations and re-evaluate its relationships with Republicans in Congress who voted to overturn the 2020 election.

But now, less than a year later, GM's corporate PAC has quietly resumed these donations -- and has already contributed over $70,000 to GOP lawmakers who incited the insurrection.

And GM isn’t alone. UPS, American Airlines, Tyson -- the PACs of many leading companies that pledged to suspend their donations have since kicked in money to help re-elect one or more of the members of Congress who attacked our democracy at Donald Trump’s behest.

Sign the Petition: We demand that these corporate PACs cease all donations to these Republicans -- and recommit to putting our democracy before their partisan political interests.

Friend, it’s shameful -- these companies’ short-lived pledges to put our democracy before their political interests were nothing more than empty words. And now that they think nobody is looking, they’re once again backing those politicians who incited a deadly riot at our Capitol.

GM, UPS, American Airlines, and others are hoping that we won’t notice. They’re hoping that a few months was enough time for everyone to move on -- and that we won’t care that they’ve started fueling the spread of dangerous disinformation again.

We must show them that we’re paying attention and demand that they sever all ties with lawmakers who threatened our democracy.

If you agree that bold action must be taken -- and that corporations shouldn’t fuel the campaigns of insurrection-inciting members of Congress -- add your name today.

Sign the Petition

Thanks for taking action,
