Business Leaders Are Slow Buying Into Reforms, But Quick to Cash Out
Apr 28, 2021
Business leaders made plenty of headlines over the past year as they stood up for Black communities and social justice. In January, many also spoke out while cutting the purse strings to politicians that aligned with voter suppression efforts and the U.S. Capitol breach. But as quickly as these corporate executives took a stand, many were fast to retreat as state legislators across the country became even more emboldened and passed laws that made it tougher for citizens to cast their ballots in elections.

Inside the clown car otherwise known as the U.S. Senate, more politicians are blaring the “get woke go broke” mantra at companies daring to speak out on issues such as voter suppression and social justice.

Cancel culture is clearly meant as a reputational smear, but its use goes beyond brand reputation and affects the wider corporate responsibility movement.

This new push for voter suppression laws has exposed last year’s corporate-supported voter drives as little more than a game of whack-a-mole. The real power rests with the elected officials who make election law, and now some unwanted attention is now turning on the corporate donors who helped put them in office.
