72 Black executives enter the fight against voter suppression in Georgia
A group of 72 Black current and former Black business executives took a major stand against a controversial new voting rights law in Georgia. The group is posting a full-page ad in the
New York Times today entitled “Memo to Corporate America: The Fierce Urgency is Now.”
These influential executives are asking corporations to come out and take a stand of solidarity. The group is calling for corporations to “publicly oppose any discriminatory legislation and all measures designed to limit Americans’ ability to vote.”
This week, former American Express Chairman and CEO Ken Chenault appeared on CBS This Morning, alongside former Xerox CEO Ursula Burns to call for action. “What we’re saying to companies is all of the words are nice, but we need you to take action,” explained Chenault.
