Pamela, It’s already time to get ready for the next round of this fight. Last month, after a broad public outcry, Georgia GOP lawmakers gave up on a plan to draw new voting maps that would gut Black and brown political power. But they may be getting ready to try again after the November elections. So we’re getting ready to fight back — again. We can win — again — by organizing widespread resistance against this power grab. That will include mobilizing Georgians to make their voices heard. We also need to show strong opposition from different segments of society, including key business leaders. So we’re calling on powerful companies based in Georgia — including Coca-Cola, UPS, Delta Airlines, Georgia Pacific, and Home Depot — to use their significant sway in state politics for good and make their voices heard as well.
Add your name if you want to send a message to these Georgia corporations — and tell them to oppose racist voting maps that silence Black and brown voters. Sign our petition if you agree these companies must raise their voices ahead of a post-election map-rigging session. 
Consumer voices go a long way to shape corporate decisions. And when corporate leaders talk, politicians listen. We’ve already shown that Georgia legislators are willing to bend in the face of significant public pressure. So let’s turn up the heat even higher before they consider another attempt at egregious racial gerrymandering. And let’s show that they would face severe pushback from major corporations.
If you agree that powerful companies should speak out against racial discrimination, sign our petition today. In solidarity, The Fair Fight Action Team
