U.S. corporations that recently criticized Georgia’s election reform bill have been tied to factories in China with poor conditions for workers and forced Uyghur labor.
Corporate America quickly condemned and chastised Georgia over its recently-passed voting legislation suggesting the bill “undermin[es]” American democracy, and some going as far as moving business away from the state in response. Additionally, hundreds of corporations, celebrities and executives announced their unified opposition against any “discriminatory legislation” that “prevent[s] any eligible voter from having an equal and fair opportunity to cast a ballot.”
Still, many of these same corporations that have dedicated themselves to the cause of condemning human rights violations are simultaneously connected with factories in China with substandard conditions for workers, limited protections of worker rights, and in some cases, forced labor.

Oregon Legislators are seeking new funding for a mothers program at Coffee Creek.
WILSONVILLE Largely due to private donations, a Coffee Creek Correctional Facility program that helps incarcerated mothers play a role in their children s lives has continued over the last few years without state funding. But according to program director Jessica Katz, the Family Preservation Project may not proceed much longer if the public sector doesn t step up. Without support of the state we lose the interest of private funders because they don t want to be the sole financial supporters of the program. They would like to see a partnership to see the program innovate and grow, Katz said.
