Friend,

Corporate America is aiding and abetting the insurrectionists who are
threatening our democracy.

After the attack on our Capitol on January 6, 2021, many major
corporations pledged to suspend donations to the 147 GOP members of
Congress who objected to the certification of the 2020 presidential
election and helped fuel the Big Lie.

Those same corporations -- including American Express, Toyota, Walgreens,
UPS, Lockheed Martin, Home Depot, and AT&T -- have since abandoned their
pledges and resumed donations to insurrectionist Republicans and the
committees supporting them. In fact, corporate donors have given more than
$16 million to these election deniers since January 6.(1)

[ [link removed] ]These corporations are directly funding lawmakers who incited rioters
to lead a deadly attack on our Capitol and then voted to throw out tens of
millions of votes in order to install an authoritarian president. This has
to stop. Sign the petition to demand that Corporate America stop funding
insurrectionists now!

Trump and MAGA Republicans continue to threaten our democracy by
supporting racist voter suppression laws and spreading disinformation and
outright lies to the American public about our election systems.

And Corporate America is bankrolling these attacks on our freedoms.

We can't let corporations get away with pledging to help preserve our
democracy while privately funding the people who are working to destroy
it. They can’t hedge their bets when it comes to defending democracy --
you’re either against the insurrectionists or you’re with them. And right
now, these corporations are on their side.

UPS, Lockheed Martin, Home Depot, and AT&T -- stop funding
insurrectionists now!

Thank you for everything you’re doing to save our democracy.

–Irene, along with Amber, Angela, Annie, Isidra, Jay, Lindsay, LisaMarie,
