Voting Rights Activists Lobby Georgia’s Corporations to Oppose GOP Voter Suppression 

HeadlineMar 16, 2021

In Georgia, voting rights activists are lobbying Coca-Cola, Home Depot and other prominent Georgia-based companies to oppose voter suppression legislation being advanced by Republican state lawmakers. Last week, Georgia’s state Senate approved a bill that would end the right of voters to cast absentee ballots without excuse, while toughening voter ID requirements. Georgia voting rights activist Stacey Abrams blasted the legislation as a “redux of Jim Crow in a suit and tie.”
