.@aflac released a statement calling for “secure voting while preserving election integrity”—language that parrots the baseless voter fraud claims made by Trump and Republicans. Make no mistake: these bills do not stop fraud—they stop young people and people of color from voting.

.@CocaCola has long highlighted its activism in the Civil Rights Movement and its backing of the National Center for Civil and Human Rights. Yet, they've failed to condemn voter suppression legislation that poses a direct affront to the very issues they claim to care about.

As one of Georgia's most powerful stakeholders, @Delta has betrayed its commitment to democracy by standing by GA's regressive voting laws. Offering free WIFI on flights to encourage voter registration doesn't cut it.

It's no secret that @HomeDepot has been a long-time ally of Republicans. In 2020 alone, it gave over $1.1 million to GOP candidates. The company's passivity around GA's flurry of voter suppression bills only affirms its loyalty to the Party of Disenfranchisement.

.@UPS claims to be committed to “voter engagement” and “equitable access to the polls.”If that was really true, then the company would've issued a cautionary statement to Georgia Republicans about their disenfranchising actions. Instead, it chose vague platitudes.

🍑EYES ON GEORGIA! These five companies have called the Peach State home for decades. As leaders in the business community, It's their collective responsibility to hold Georgia Republicans accountable for brazen voter suppression.
