ECU // LAV releases a new national ad and memo highlighting corporations’ decision to continue to back extremist members of Congress who voted to overturn election results.
One year after the deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol, End Citizens United // Let America Vote (ECU // LAV) President Tiffany Muller released a new memo highlighting the cynical, hypocritical, and dangerous investments that corporate America has made to self-serving politicians who tried to overturn the results of the 2020 election. In addition, ECU // LAV released a new national digital ad to hold corporations that continue to fund insurrectionists and extremism accountable for their support of anti-American seditionists.
The memo details how corporations have given over $18 million to members of Congress who voted to overturn the results of the free and fair 2020 election and the groups that support them, including corporations that pretended to stop donating to these seditious politicians.
The digital ad will start running nationally on Thursday, January 6 on Facebook, Google, YouTube, and programmatic video.
-
After the riots and attack on the Capitol on January 6, corporations gave $18 million to the 147 members of Congress who attempted to overthrow the election and the committees they control.
-
Of the 46 corporations that broke pledges to pause or refrain from donating, many cited flimsy new standards or the need to buy influence and access, and some even characterized the members’ actions as peaceful.
-
Many corporations extended their giving to fund anti-voting laws across the states, supporting local legislators who pushed misinformation about the election and passed laws to restrict voting.
