On March 11, Delta Air Lines dedicated a building at its Atlanta headquarters to Andrew Young, the civil rights leader and former mayor. At the ceremony, Young spoke of the restrictive voting rights bill that Republicans were rushing through the Georgia state Legislature. Then, after the speeches, Young’s daughter, Andrea, a prominent activist herself, cornered Delta’s CEO, Ed Bastian.
“I told him how important it was to oppose this law,” she said.
For Bastian, it was an early warning that the issue of voting rights might soon ensnare Delta in another national dispute. Over the past five years, corporations have taken political stands like never before, often in response to the extreme policies of former President Donald Trump.

Georgiaâs Black faith community, long crucial in mobilizing Black voters, is galled.
âOffering water to those who thirst is a basic tenet of Christianity, especially as an evangelical,â said Bishop Carl McRae, senior pastor of Exousia Lighthouse International Christian Ministries, just outside Atlanta.
At the heart of the new push to make voting harder in the state are unsubstantiated voter fraud claims by Donald Trump and other Republican officials. âNow we have a solution to a problem that never existed,â said McRae. Black churches such as his are taking a leading role in Georgia as they call for economic boycotts and community action.
