Protest calls for corporations to end Masters ties in stand against change to Georgia voting rights Amanda King, Augusta Chronicle © AMANDA KING Protesters gather at the intersection of Berckmans and Washington roads to speak out against Georgia Senate Bill 202 Saturday, April 10, 2021 in Augusta, Ga. A statewide church group and other organizations gathered near the Augusta National Golf Club on Saturday to rally for a change in the new Georgia voting law and end what they called Jim Crow 2.0. About three dozen people attended to encourage corporations attending or sponsoring the tournament to take a stand against Senate Bill 202, which they say limits voting specifically for Blacks.

Representatives from the Augusta NAACP also called on changes to the law at the protest at Washington and Berckmans roads. The bill, political action chair Jorae Jenkins said, makes it difficult for people to vote because of changes to absentee ballots. Moving the Masters is not necessarily the goal, she said, but for corporations to remove sponsorships. Other major organizations have come out and take a stand against this bill, she said. It would be nice to see people that are here that are sponsors to do the same thing and that they agree that this bill is not right and we have to take a stand.
