Jack, in the wake of Jan. 6, corporations were quick to denounce the actions of the Sedition Caucus--the 147 GOP members of Congress who objected to the certification of the 2020 presidential election--and pledged to stop donations. But as soon as the dust settled, they went right back to donating to those same Republicans who continue to deny election results and spread the Big Lie.
Sign the petition to corporations: Keep your pledge. Stop donations to pro-insurrectionist members of Congress.
SIGN THE PETITION
The Jan. 6 select committee presented evidence of how Trump and MAGA Republicans planned, promoted, and paid for a criminal conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election. These 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.
The Sedition Caucus and their extremist far-right beliefs remain an enormous threat to our democracy. Yet, 164 corporations have backpedaled on their pledge, contributing more than $16 million to those members.
Sign the petition to corporations: Keep your pledge. Stop donations to pro-insurrectionist members of Congress.

Thanks for all you do,

P.S. Below is an email we sent out earlier urging corporations to keep their pledges:
Jack, numerous corporations--including American Express, Toyota, Walgreens, UPS, Lockheed Martin, Home Depot, AT&T, Marathon Petroleum, Valero Energy, and Publix--pledged to stop donations to the Sedition Caucus, the GOP members of Congress who voted to overturn the 2020 election. Now those corporations are going back on their word.
Sign the petition to corporations: Keep your pledge. Stop donations to pro-insurrectionist members of Congress.
SIGN THE PETITION
The Sedition Caucus has received over $16 million dollars from 164 donors who reneged on their pledge to suspend donations.
We can't let corporations get away with pledging to help preserve our democracy while privately funding the people working to destroy it. Demand companies stop funding insurrection.
Sign the petition to corporations: Keep your pledge. Stop donations to pro-insurrectionist members of Congress.
SIGN THE PETITION
Thank you for fighting with us,
