Coke, Delta, Aflac, and other Georgia companies face boycott threats amid voting restrictions

 


Boycotting these large corporations is the best answer to the new Jim Crow going in the South. It's worked before and it will work again. We have to take it upon ourselves to act because the politicians won't act to defend our rights:

Pressure is building for high-profile companies in Georgia to express firmer opposition to a sweeping new law that will restrict voter access and make it more difficult to vote there.

Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines bore the brunt of boycott threats on social media over the weekend after it released a statement praising some aspects of the law and noting that it “improved considerably during the legislative process.”

Similarly, Coca-Cola is facing boycott threats after it released a statement “expressing our concerns and advocating for positive change in voting legislation” but fell short of taking a stance against the law.

Other companies facing criticism include The Home Depot and insurance firm Aflac, the latter of which is headquartered in Columbus, Georgia.
