1. Message received, then. Good. nt

[bamagal62]

2. And, I will continue to not buy your products until

This is reversed or the senate passes the voting rights bill. Did this guy speak out before it was passed???

9. I'm there with you. More than words are needed.

3. I think it is solid and believable. Delta? No. Lol. But, I think Coca-Cola back this up in community

interaction over the years.

4. GOOD DEAL!

We need many more to come forward!

5. Have a virtual coke

And a smile.

Voting Rights...It’s the real thing

I feel we owe an unpayable debt to the people of Georgia for their heroic and critical role in saving our Democratic Government.

Stacey. Rafael. Jon. JOHN LEWIS!

6. Yes, but what are they going to actually DO to apply pressure? Have any of them said?

I read that some companies that claimed they would no longer contribute to congressional candidates who were involved with the insurrection are already back peddling.

8. Money

Coke spends on funding both sides in Georgia.
Per OpenSecrets, since 2008 they've given equal amounts to D's & Rs 3 times, more to D's once (2020), and more to Rs twice.
Without going over it line by line, it looks like an awful lot of it is spent locally to Georgia.
It was around $529,000 in 2020.
For a state legislative race, even a couple thousand matters. That is their easiest lever to pull, and if they do it (very big fish) other companies may follow

7. Mmmmm I'm drinking an ice cold Coke right now

Just like I do several times a week.

10. Sales must already be going down

and, as far as I am concerned, TOO LATE to get religion.

[PortTack]

11. Okay Coca-Cola...Must put some bite in those words...no more donations to the qgop until

[NightWatcher]

12. Let me know when it's cool to buy Powerade again.

This UGA boy is having a hard time drinking (Florida) Gatorade. Kidding but it is way too sweet and syrupy.

[ZonkerHarris]

13. He did not say what Coke will do. Will they stop giving to the pols who voted for it and signed it?

will they ask for donations back.
Will they give to politicians who pledge to overturn the law?
Just a lot of talk.
CYA stuff

[FakeNoose]

14. Coca-Cola and Delta are already hearing from the boycotters

Good work, guys!
