Opponents of a law that changed voting rules in Georgia are calling for boycotts of high-profile Georgia based companies, including Delta, Coca-Cola and Home Depot

Republicans who passed the law say the measure is needed to stop illegal voting, playing on discredited claims of widespread fraud in last year's presidential election. Opponents say the legislation, and similar measures being considered in other states, amount to voter suppression efforts that will reduce minority voting. President Joe Biden has called the bill"Jim Crow in the 21st Century" and"an atrocity.

"Pressure from outside and withinExperts agree that calls for boycotts generally have very limited impact on companies' sales and profits."In general boycotts are not very effective," said Maurice Schweitzer, business professor at the University of Pennsylvania."At the end of the day, most people do what's most convenient and the best price."But experts note that companies may respond to pressure, even if there's only limited impact on their finances.

these companies had nothing to do with it but this is what our country is bow dont use companies like coke and dont go out because almost every restaurant only sells coke products so make sure to only ever get water for you and the kids

Silence is complicity. Support American Democracy. Support the Delta Air Lines Boycott. BoycottDeltaAirlines

Absolutely BOYCOTT these companies like Delta Airlines, Coca Cola, Home Depot, FedEx that are actively funding the Republican Party to SUPPRESS VOTING in GA and in other parts of the US.

I'm in!

I support the boycott. The rich teach us money talks. I LOVE cancel culture.

Wait. Many have already seen their right to vote restricted. Now they're going to lose their jobs because of a general boycott? Think. Find other avenues.

Coke has been doing a great job lately. Be less white my friends.

Political contributions are illegal in other countries, because they entail bribery and corruption. Voters in line are not little kids... don't make fishy gestures by handing them water & snacks.

I know a terrible news organization from Atlanta that needs to be knocked down a peg or two as well.

Coca Cola want's their employees to be more white -

another liberal talking point with zero evidence. sheesh

BOYCOTT GEORGIA!!
