People For Supporter –

In the wake of the January 6 insurrection, many corporations pledged to
stop donations to the 147 Republican members of Congress who voted not to
certify the 2020 election and helped fuel the lies that led to the attack.

However, pledging to defend democracy and actually defending democracy are
very different things. Since making that pledge, several corporations
including AT&T, UPS, FedEx, Visa, Home Depot, GM, Exxonmobil, and many
others have together contributed over $16 million to those very lawmakers
who voted against certifying the election. ^[ [link removed] ]

[1]We need to hold these corporations accountable – join us in demanding
that they STOP funding the campaigns of these far-right members of
Congress immediately! >>

Perhaps most shocking is that several recipients of the donations are
members of Congress that have been subpoenaed or interviewed by the Jan. 6
Committee investigating the insurrection! Donating to the very members
potentially involved or partly responsible for the insurrection is perhaps
the ultimate betrayal of their pledge and they must be held accountable.

But not all corporations have broken their pledge. According to recent
reporting, 85 of these companies, including PepsiCo, Nike, Target, Zillow,
Marriott, and others, have upheld the pledge to no longer donate to these
members of Congress. If these corporations can do it, so can all the rest.

[2]Send a message to them right away and remind them of the pledge they
took to put our democracy above their corporate interests – sign the
petition now >>

Thank you for helping to defend our democracy.
