FIRST: Georgia signed into law a slew of anti-voting legislation designed to prevent communities of color and low-income communities from exercising their rights to vote.
THEN: Major corporations, including the MLB and Coca Cola, used their corporate power to pull out and condemn Georgia for its actions.
NOW: Top Republican leaders — like Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump — are calling on their supporters to boycott these businesses and Georgia Republicans are threatening to withhold tax benefits.
"Corporations will invite serious consequences if they become a vehicle for far-left mobs to hijack our country from outside the constitutional order,”

This is ridiculous. Georgia is disenfranchising hundreds of thousands of voters — and they deserve to face consequences.
Add your name to condemn Georgia Republicans for their commitment to voter suppression.
While these reactions are not surprising, they do highlight just how much Republicans across the country are committed to voter suppression and how they are willing to harness their power to challenge anyone who tries to hold them to account.
Though it’s daunting, we have to be all in against these blatantly un-Democratic tactics — and this means ensuring these corporations know that they must continue to fight with us. In 2020 and 2021, we saw great success reaching and mobilizing unlikely voters, but our work has just begun.
Together, we have the power to see this through. Will you join us in the fight against voter suppression?
