John,
Immediately following the insurrection on our Capitol, numerous corporations rushed to declare that they would stop giving donations to members of Congress that opposed the certification of Joe Biden’s victory.
Some companies like Pepsi, Nike, and Target have stayed true to their word and withheld funding from insurrectionists.
Yet many other corporations, including Home Depot, General Motors, and ExxonMobil have resumed donations to many of the 147 Republicans that actively fought against the peaceful transfer of power.
We cannot allow these corporations to get away with saying one thing in public, but then later turn around and donate money to help Republicans that incite violence and attack our democratic process.
It’s up to us to expose their hypocrisy and pressure them to stop. Sign the petition demanding Fortune 500 companies and corporate trade associations stop giving contributions to the 147 Republicans who supported the insurrection now.
If some corporations can withhold funds from insurrectionists so can others, but without public pressure, they will continue to destroy our democracy in pursuit of power and profit. We cannot let that happen.
Our name is Democracy For America because we understand that protecting and defending our democracy is a top priority. Believing in the ideals of democracy means fighting for its principles and actively warding off attacks against it.
That’s why we need you to stand with us as we fight to hold corporations and election deniers accountable. Demand companies stop funding the 147 Republicans who supported the insurrection now.
Thank you for adding your name and making sure every corporation knows that we are working to hold them accountable as we fight to protect our democracy.
- Molly
