Major companies headquartered in Georgia are criticizing the state s controversial new voting law, and now some GOP lawmakers are calling for boycotts of the brands.
An April 3 letter addressed to Kevin Perry, president of the Georgia Beverage Association, from members of the the Georgia House Republican Caucus requested the removal of all Coca-Cola products from an office suite. Eight GOP legislators signed off on the memo.
Coca-Cola was one of the first Georgia-based companies to publicly condemn Senate Bill 202. Company CEO James Quincy said the law does not promote principles we have stood for in Georgia around broad access to voting, around voter convenience, about ensuring election integrity,” in an interview with CNBC, according to The Washington Post.
