Johnson & Johnson is leaving ALEC; State Farm still hanging in there

Got the following note from CREDO


Johnson & Johnson is leaving ALEC thanks to your activism.
Yesterday afternoon news broke that Johnson & Johnson is ending its membership in the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC).

This is huge, and it wouldn't have happened without the hard work of CREDO activists like you.

Over 2,200 members of CREDO reported making a call telling Johnson & Johnson to stop supporting ALEC because of its role in voter suppression.

And more than 150,000 CREDO members signed our petition calling on corporations to drop ALEC, joining over 350,000 members of ColorOfChange, People for the American Way, Progressive Change Campaign Committee, and SumOfUs who signed similar petitions.

Johnson & Johnson is now the most recent in a long list of companies and non-profits who have ended their affiliation with ALEC since we started our campaign, including Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Kraft Foods, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, McDonald's and Procter & Gamble.

But many major corporations are still funding ALEC. State Farm is one of them.

First dial the number. Please be respectful toward the person who answers. (Ranting won't help the cause.) Here's a suggested script:

I'm calling to urge you to immediately and permanently stop any funding of ALEC.

State Farm is a major supporter of the American Legislative Exchange Council which is responsible for voter ID legislation that has the potential to disenfranchise up to 5 million voters -- especially people of color, young people, and seniors.

We will not go back to the Jim Crow era. State Farm should stop supporting ALEC.

Close the call:
Thank you for your time!

Tips for your call:
- Be friendly and nice.
- Try again if the phone is busy or no answer
