U.S : PEPSI cannot continue to fund attacks on our democracy.

 

 

 

Friend, sign the petition: Pepsi must defund voter suppression. SIGN THE PETITION                   Our voting rights are currently under attack. As of March 24, 361 voter suppression bills have been introduced in 47 states this year. GOP politicians are going to disturbing lengths to disenfranchise voters, particularly voters of color. Making the frenzied push for Jim Crow 2.0 possible are the wealthy donors and corporations that underwrote the campaigns of those politicians leading today’s suppression efforts, like PepsiCo. In just the last few years, Corporate America and companies like Pepsi gave more than $50 million to the legislators backing voting restrictions.       Sign the petition: Demand Pepsi stop funding voter suppression.           SIGN THE PETITION           In the aftermath of the capitol riots, PepsiCo, like many other corporations, temporarily suspended its political giving. Now, though it is “regrettable that the sense of urgency came after the [Georgia voting] legislation was passed,” as Pepsi board member Darren Walker put it, the corporation has issued a statement about how “the right to vote is a cornerstone of American democracy.” PepsiCo can make all the statements they like for voting rights, civil rights and racial justice, but until they stop underwriting voter suppression and corrupting democracy through large donations and other means, its commitments will ring hollow.       Sign the petition to PepsiCo: Make your pause on political giving permanent beginning with a commitment to defund and drop ties with the legislators, lobbyists, and trade groups behind Jim Crow 2.0 voting laws.           SIGN THE PETITION           Thanks for all you do,             Erin Tulley, Daily Kos.                                   Daily Kos Relies on Readers Like You.
