Large corporations, including Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines and Aflac, came out to stand up against voting restrictions measures by Georgia's Republican Party.
Aflac shared Coca-Cola's sentiments, saying"the right to vote in national, state and local elections is the cornerstone of democracy." A Coca-Cola sign is shown atop the Olympia Building downtown in Atlanta, Georgia on July 27, 2019. The company since joined other corporate heavyweights in standing against voting restrictions measures proposed by Georgia’s Republican Party.
The Georgia Chamber said it has"expressed concern and opposition to provisions found in both HB 531 and SB 241 that restrict or diminish voter access," and"continues to engage in a bipartisan manner with leaders of the General Assembly on bills that would impact voting rights in our state."
THEY BETTER, BECAUSE COKE WAS AT THE TOP OF THE BOYCOTT LIST BABY
Time to increase the corporate tax rate
🤣The same coco-cola that donated to them?
That’s nice but besides a statement, are they doing anything else?
Business in politics? How can that be explained?
Yes IDs are such horrible things. It's oppression. It's racism. It's bigotry.
Really? 'We support efforts by the Metro Atlanta Chamber and the Georgia Chamber of Commerce to help facilitate a balanced approach to the election bills that have been introduced in the Georgia Legislature this session.' FYI: The GA Legislature wants to rescind voting rights.
Will they request their donations be returned?
Dear CocaCola Delta and aflac, well done! 👏👏👏
Because they believe the media narrative vs facts

Hollywood Stars, Entertainment Companies Sign Open Letter Condemning Georgia Voting RestrictionsFortune 500 companies, A-list movie stars, filmmakers and corporate heavyweights came out swinging on April 14, condemning Georgia’s new voting restrictions in an open letter that was printed… Here’s a question - Why wouldn’t you want secure elections? Even bigger question - who the hell doesn’t have access to obtaining a state-issued ID? You have to have it literally for everything. Driving. Using debit/cards. Buying cigs and beer. Flying. Stop peddling a fucking lie. Often wondered why Hollywood never made a movie about the attempted Fascist Coup D'etat of the US Government in 1933. BBC & PBS produced documentarys. Both on You Tube. One thing for sure. It's happening in at least 23 states like Georgia. Fascist never give up.
