Soda giants Coca-Cola and Pepsi have both dropped their memberships in the corporate-funded American Legislative Exchange Council, or ALEC. Coca-Cola’s announcement came hours after ColorOfChange.org launched an online drive calling on Coke to stop underwriting the ALEC agenda on voter ID laws in several states. ALEC has also been criticized in recent weeks for its support of so-called “Stand Your Ground” gun legislation.
