(92,190 posts)1. I respectively disagree with Stacy on this. The only way to call attention to this blatant
racist attack on our democracy is hit them where it will get their attention. Talking won't cut it
done with Georgia and Florida to name a few.

at the link:
In speeches I give to young activists and seasoned advocates, I urge them to speak up, show up and stand up. We can expect no less from the economic pillars of our communities. So I ask like-minded Americans to hold corporations to their professed values by measuring their actions and demanding they stand with us.
It will take a little while for businesses using the wrong messaging to catch up with the rest of us, but they will. It is becoming more clear every day that being a Republican is a symbol of weakness; some companies will of course wallow in their weaknesses, selling pillows and military gear to a shrinking crowd of outcasts.
