BOYCOTTS WORK.
Remember that. Hurt them in the pocketbook. Their biggest fear is an informed consumer.
Think Progress has the story:
The progressive advocacy group Color of Change has targeted ALEC’s corporate sponsors because they are helping to support voter suppression laws and pushing dangerous “Stand Your Ground” laws.
“We welcome Kraft’s decision to stop supporting ALEC, an organization which has worked to disenfranchise African-Americans, Latinos, students, the elderly, the disabled, and the poor,” ColorOfChange executive director Rashad Robinson said. “We reached out to Kraft months ago and have been in dialogue with them since then to convey the concerns of more than 85,000 ColorOfChange members who called on major corporations to stop supporting ALEC.”
ALEC is the organization that wrote the framework for the infamous “Stand Your Ground” law in Florida along with various voter ID bills that will restrict voting in America.
