Delighted to see some pressure being put on these companies who support voter suppression.
@rpardee it’s behind a paywall. Can you sum it up, I’m curious & willing to make phone calls to let corporations know, we’re watching, we spend ethically
@Groovyeli Gist of it is that Georgia NAACP is calling out GA-based companies who are contributing to the pols sponsoring the various suppression bills in the GA state house. Said companies are so far just putting out mealy-mouthed responses wanting to honor both voter access and "election integrity" 😉 .
@Groovyeli Good for you!
@rpardee we think reaching out as a customer makes a difference, as well as being willing to not be a customer & telling them why. Which reminds me I need to call Publix and tell them the tally so far of what we have spent else where since they’ve played DeSantis Covid vaccination game (he pulled it from the health departments so now elderly mainly white wealthy donors are getting pop up shot clinics and there are no places for lower income or minority areas. It’s shitty & blatant.
@rpardee btw, grew up thus way. It’s what you do
@rpardee I’m a Delta customer & just called. The operator was an ass, after I told her why I was calling she told me “they (and Ed bastian) didn’t gave time or staff for that (due to 17, 000 layoffs)” I told her I would have time to fly with Delta again if they keep giving money to those who put up & support racist policies.
