NOTED HE’S BEEN DOWN THIS ROAD
BEFORE WITH THE ANTI-LGBT LAWS
AND ANTI-ABORTION BILLS.
BOYCOTT, WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF
THAT AS SOMEBODY IN A LEADERSHIP
POSITION IN GEORGIA?
DO YOU THINK STATE OR THE
COMPANIES SHOULD BE BOYCOTTED?
>>.
>> ON THURSDAY AT 12:00 IN FRONT
OF COKE LACOA-COLA WE’LL ANNOUNC
BEGINNING OF A BOYCOTT NEXT
MONDAY.
I’M SUPPORTING OF BOY KOTSCOTTIN
CORPORATIONS.
I’M NOT ADVOCATING THE MOVIE
THEATERS.
I’M NOT ADVOCATING MAJOR LEAGUE
BASEBALL.
I THINK THAT WILL TAKE CARE OF
ITSELF.
I THINK WE NEED TO CONCENTRATE
ON THESE CORPORATIONS WHO BLACKS
GIVE THEIR DOLLARS TO AND WE
GIVE OUR DOLLARS TO THEM.
WE EXPECT THEM TO STAND WITH US.
>> COCOA-COLA PUT OUT A STATEMEN
ON MONDAY SAYING WE’RE
DISAPPOINTED WITH THE OUTCOME.
WE DON’T SEE THIS AS A FINAL
CHAPTER.
WE WILL CONTINUE TO PRESS FOR
IMPROVEMENTS TO GEORGIA ELECTION
LAW.
I’M NOT SURE WHAT THEY WILL
HAPPEN.
DELTA STOOD BY THEIR STATEMENT
IN WHICH THEY SAID THE LAW WAS
IMPROVED OVER TIME.
WHEN IT COMES THE BOYCOTTS,
ANDREW YOUNG POINTED OUT THE
ECONOMY IN GEORGIA LARGER THAN
THE ECONOMY IN SOUTH AFRICA
WHICH WAS SUBJECT TO FRIT
SIGNIFICANT BOYCOTTS.
HE SAID, I DON’T KNOW WHY
ANYBODY WANTS TO F WITH THAT.
HE PUT IT THAT WAY VERY
COLORFULLY.
WHAT IMPACT DO YOU THINK A
BOYCOTT WOULD HAVE?
>> IN JUNE OF LAST YEAR, THE
CHAIRMAN SAID OUR COMPANIES CAN
DO BETTER.
WE MUST STAND WITH BLACK LIVES
MATTER AS ALLIES AND SUPPORT
OTHER JUSTICE -- SOCIAL JUSTICE
CAUSES.
OUR COMPANIES WITH DO BETTER.
HERE IS CHANCE FOR THEM TO DO
BETTER AND THEY FLUNKED IT.
LET’S TAKE DELTA AIRLINES.
DELTA AIRLINES SENT OUT AN
IN-HOUSE MEMO WHERE THEY PRAISED
THE PASSAGE OF THIS BILL.
THESE STATEMENTS RELEASED TODAY
OR YESTERDAY, THEY ONLY SEE TO
GIVE COVER TO THE FACT THEY HAVE
FAILED THE BLACK AND BROWN
COMMUNITY BY SUPPORTING NOT TO
HAVE OUR VOTES SUPPRESSED.
I DON’T THINK WE CAN LET THAT GO
UNCHALLENGED.
WE CANNOT ACT AS IF THAT’S OKAY.
WE’LL DO BETTER NEXT TIME.
>> ARE THE ONLY COMPANIES THAT
WILL FACE THIS?
THERE’S LOT OFFENSE COMPANIES.
U.P.S., AFLAC.
WITH KE EXPECT THE BOYCOTT CALLS
TO GROW BEYOND DELL DATA AND
COCA-COLA?
>> YES.
WE’RE TRYING TO ARRANGE AN
EXECUTIVE MEETING WITH
EXECUTIVES ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
THIS IS NOT JUST A GEORGIA
PROBLEM.
THERE ARE 41 OTHER STATES WHICH
HAVE BILLS SIMILAR TO THESE ON
THE BOOKS.
THIS IS REALLY A THREAT TO OUR
DEMOCRACY, NUMBER ONE AND NUMBER
TWO, WE NEED TO CALL IT WHAT IT
IS.
IT’S RACIST.
IF REPUBLICANS HAD WON, THESE
BILLS WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN
INTRODUCED.
WHEN THE LAWS WORK FOR THEM
WHICH THEY PASSED BEFORE, WHEN
THEY WORK FOR THEM, THEY WERE
FINE.
WHEN THEY WORK FOR US, IT’S
SOMETHING WRONG WITH THEM AND
THE MOST LUDICROUS THING IS, ALL
THIS LEGISLATION IS BASED ON A
LIE TOLD BY THE FORMER LIAR IN
CHIEF.
NOW ALL OF SAUND WE WANT TO GIVE
CREDIBILITY TO A LIE.
I REMIND GEORGIA, 2018, FORMER
SECRETARY OF STATE, NOW THE
GOVERNOR, HE TOOK 500,000 NAMES
OFF THE VOTER ROLLS.
MANY OF THEM VOTERS OF COLOR.
THERE WAS NO LEGISLATION.
THERE WAS NO CONCERN ABOUT THE
OUTRAGE OF BLACKS.
EVERYTHING WAS FINE.
NOW, WHEN THEY LOSE, ALL OF A
SUDDEN THERE’S NO INTEGRITY AND
