After the deadly attack at our Capitol on January 6th, GM pledged to pause all political donations and re-evaluate its relationships with those in Congress who incited the insurrection.

But now, less than a year later, GM’s corporate PAC has quietly resumed these donations -- and has already contributed tens of thousands of dollars to GOP lawmakers who voted to overturn the 2020 election.

And GM isn’t alone. UPS, American Airlines, Tyson -- the PACs of many leading companies that pledged to suspend their donations have since kicked in money to help re-elect one or more of the members of Congress who voted against certifying the election. [1]

That is shameful -- these companies’ short-lived pledges to put our democracy before their political interests were nothing more than empty words. And now that they think nobody is looking, they’re once again backing politicians who attacked our democracy at Donald Trump’s behest.

General Motors, UPS, American Airlines, and others are hoping that we won’t notice. They’re hoping that a few months was enough time for everyone to move on -- and that we won’t care that they’ve started fueling the spread of dangerous disinformation again.

We must show them that we’re paying attention. We must demand -- loud and clear -- that these companies sever their ties with lawmakers who threatened our democracy and stop backtracking on their commitments. If you agree, please add your name today.
