Jack, major companies are financially supporting members of Congress who incited the insurrection at our Capitol and are hoping we won’t notice. Demand they stop!
Sign the petition to corporate America: Stop funding insurrectionists!
SIGN THE PETITION
These companies gave short-lived pledges to put our democracy before their political interests – nothing more than empty words. Now they are once again backing politicians who attacked our democracy at Donald Trump’s behest.
As the January 6 committee continues to adeptly expose the criminal activity of Trump and his MAGA cohorts, corporations continue to support those bad actors. This is shameful.
Join us in demanding these companies stop funding insurrectionists!
SIGN THE PETITION
Thanks for all you do,
Erin Tulley, Daily Kos
P.S. Below is an email we sent out earlier demanding corporations stop funding insurrectionists:
Jack, this past April, as the Jan. 6 select committee prepared for public hearings, UPS, FedEx, Visa, Home Depot, General Motors, ExxonMobil and other Fortune 500 companies and corporate trade associations donated more than $1.4 million to members of Congress that voted against certifying the 2020 election.

In the wake of the January 6 insurrection, many corporations pledged to stop donations to the Sedition Caucus — 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 different things. As of this writing, Fortune 500 companies and corporate trade groups have donated more than $16 million to Sedition Caucus members since the insurrection.
Moreover, these companies have given nearly $1 million to Republican members of Congress being investigated by the Jan. 6 select committee, including U.S. Reps. Kevin McCarthy, Scott Perry, Jim Jordan, Andy Biggs, Barry Loudermilk, and Ronny Jackson.

SIGN THE PETITION
The Jan. 6 select committee is skillfully presenting evidence of how Trump and MAGA Republicans planned, promoted, and paid for a criminal conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election. These same bad actors haven't slowed down in the time since. If anything, their commitment to sabotaging future elections — and their ability to do so — has only grown. They are a threat to our freedoms and way of life.
Some corporations chose our democracy over amassing political power. As of March 2022, a reported 85 corporations, including PepsiCo, Nike, Zillow, Marriott, Target and others, have kept their vow to withhold funding from insurrectionists. If they can do it, so can everyone else.
Help hold corporations and election deniers accountable. Demand companies stop funding insurrectionists.
Sign the petition to corporate America: Stop funding insurrectionists!

Keep fighting,
