Leaders from these companies oppose Georgia’s new voting law
A growing number of companies and top executives are blasting a new election law in Georgia that some critics have assailed as a concerted effort to suppress minority voters.
The legislation, signed into law last week by Gov. Brian Kemp (R), limits the use of drop-off ballot boxes, introduces new voter identification requirements and prevents voters waiting in line from being given food or water.
More than 70 Black businesses leaders recently signed an open letter calling on companies to oppose similar bills in other states. Some businesses, like Atlanta-based Home Depot, have released statements affirming voting rights while not directly addressing the law.
The following companies have at least one top executive who has publicly opposed the Georgia law.
