Delta and JPMorgan lead companies in condemning Georgia's voting law
CBSN
Major U.S. companies including JPMorgan Chase and Delta Airlines are starting to publicly condemn the new voting law recently passed in Georgia, calling the legislation "wrong" and "based on a lie."
Chase CEO Jamie Dimon said Wednesday that voting must be accessible to all Americans. While not specifically referencing Georgia, Dimon said Chase stands against efforts that prevent Americans from being able to vote. Meanwhile, Delta CEO Ed Bastian told employees in an internal memo Wednesday that the law "does not match Delta's values." "After having time to now fully understand all that is in the bill, coupled with discussions with leaders and employees in the Black community, it's evident that the bill includes provisions that will make it harder for many underrepresented voters, particularly Black voters, to exercise their constitutional right to elect their representatives," Bastian said. "That is wrong."More Related News
