Companies, celebs sign statement blasting state voting restrictions
Hundreds of companies, big-name executives and celebrities signed onto a statement Wednesday condemning bills that would make it harder for Americans to vote. The statement calling voting “the lifeblood of democracy” is corporate America’s latest salvo against election restrictions that Republicans have passed or proposed in states such as Georgia, Michigan and Texas. The signatories include more than 100 major US companies from Wall Street stalwarts such as BlackRock and Goldman Sachs to Silicon Valley titans like Apple and Facebook as well as Hollywood giants such as ViacomCBS and United Talent Agency. Some of those firms’ CEOs signed the statement as individuals alongside others whose companies did not add their names as institutions, including Berkshire Hathaway legend Warren Buffett and Citigroup chief Jane Fraser. “We should all feel a responsibility to defend the right to vote and oppose any discriminatory legislation or measures that restrict or prevent any eligible voter from having an equal and fair opportunity to cast a ballot,” the statement reads.
