CEOs discuss pulling donations, additional public statements to fight voting bills

The group discussed numerous options to push back against the Republican-led efforts to restrict access to the ballot box, including pulling their donations, refusing to move business or jobs to states that pass restrictive measures, and relocating events, said one of the call's organizers, Jeffrey Sonnenfeld.

"The overriding spirit is they don't want politicians using wedge issues to try and solidify their hold on office, because that leads to angry communities and finger-pointing workforces and divided shareholders. It makes their job as CEOs harder to manage these constituents. They want social harmony," Sonnenfeld said.

Ward said he is helping organizers follow up with companies about their responses and expects a number of companies to come out in favor of federal voting legislation.

One cent Coca Colas for those voters on line!

good

Election integrity bills?

I was reading that in Georgia a Black person's wait time to vote is 51 minutes versus seven for a White prison. They are already doing whatever they can to deny us our right to vote.

Look at the donations not the statements. Just look at JetBlue

NBC committed to gaslighting the story.

In related news, NBC examined all proposed bills and determined they are not “restrictive” at all. They ensure the legitimacy of the voting process. Look for in-depth, accurate and unbiased repor... oh forget it. NBC “News” couldn’t report on yesterday’s weather without bias.

So that means that holding the CCP accountable for human rights issues shouldn’t be hard for them to do? Regardless of the political issue at hand, this is pathetic grandstanding and truly a threat to our country. Corporatism is facism in disguise.

So they've put too much money into appearing to support liberal causes, can't backtrack, know they'll be pressured, and have calculated (or convinced themselves) this is the cheapest option. Sunken costs, and all that

A bunch of white people thinking voter ID is racist because they literally think POC are incapable of getting an ID or use the internet.. How racist of them.. You're all idiots for buying into this shit.

🤡's

List the companies so that I can boycott them!

Excellent action step...👍

Thank You 🙏🏻 to American Businesses Leaders 💭🇺🇸😊

Imagine if they took a stand against China slaughtering thousands and using slave labor.

How do we have a voting problem? Didn’t we just have the most voters in history?

Need a fucking ID for everything in this world, why not for something so dangerous as voting. Just freaking ridiculous they don’t require that.
