Activists are organizing a boycott of major Atlanta-based corporations such as Coca-Cola over their apparent refusal to condemn a GOP-backed elections bill making its way through the Georgia legislature.
The AME Sixth Episcopal District said it would be calling for a statewide boycott of Coca-Cola until it expressly comes out against the legislation.
Bishop Reginald Jackson told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that if “Coca-Cola wants Black and brown people to drink their product, then they must speak up when our rights, our lives and our very democracy as we know it is under attack.”
The bill, which passed the George General Assembly’s House of Representatives Thursday, would create new voter ID laws and limit ballot drop boxes. It would also shorten the timeframe for runoff elections, required when no candidate reaches 50% of the vote in Georgia, from nine weeks to four weeks. The state Senate will now debate the bill, which must be finalized by next Wednesday, the end of the year’s legislative session in the state.
“We will speak with our wallets,” said Jackson, who leads more than 400 churches in Georgia.“This past summer, Coke and other corporations said they needed to speak out against racism. But they’ve been mighty quiet about this.”
Jackson said boycotts are also possible for companies like Home Depot and Delta Airlines.
The new voting law has exactly zero to do with Coke or any of its products. But since they knuckled under to the CRT and Be Less White zealots they’re now in a bad strategic bind.
The legions of ex-customers who like themselves as they are, not as Coke wants them to be, will be joined by whomever, of any color, the boycott organizers convince. That’s likely to be customers who never saw themselves as white.
Ins short order their customer base will be Hispanic, Asian and Indians.
Popcorn anyone?
They’ll be ok. Coke is addicting.
Boycotts led by Dems never succeed.
correct
Sales will sky rocket,
and the black and white low life
will go to Dollar Tree for sugar drinks
never realized coke made grape soda!
And what does this product have to do with anything other than the product. Looks like they started something when caving to “whiteness”. They have now found that these cancel culture nut jobs will never stop at one thing. Maybe because the nut jobs have no jobs and too much time on their hands. Folks it is disheartening to see our country change from what it was when we grew in this free world.
I’m sure if Coke, Home Depot and Delta suspended their services and closed their doors across Georgia for a few days, the 3% who are causing this stir would be screaming for them to reopen! It’s time to cancel this cancel cult.
Hey Coca-Cola….want to move away from GA? Hell, plenty of land here on the Eastern shore!! We would love the opportunity….heck any considering opportunity is better than zero.
Y not?
Coke isn’t White enough so I’ll drink RC cola
Truckers should stop taking food to liberal cities
Trucker may need the income so why not move the liberals out of the cities, I mean country.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
