Thank you for taking action to force Delta Airlines to stop donating to politicians that take away voting rights.
Your email can tip the scale and get the airline to cut all ties with racists. It will only take a few minutes.
Tips for writing your email:
- Be respectful and polite.
- Two key points you can touch on are:
- Delta has made a public pledge to “take a stand against racism and injustice.” Therefore, it is hypocritical for the company to donate more than $40,000 to Georgia Republicans who are trying to pass a bill that would make it harder for millions of eligible Georgians to vote, especially Black and Brown voters.
- Delta didn't donate to the Perdue and Loeffler campaigns during the runoff election. It is time for the company to stop bankrolling all racist politicians. And that means pulling support from the Georgia state legislators who are trying to get a racist anti-voter bill passed.
Thoughtful, personalized messages are more impactful. Some personal points you may wish to mention include:
- Why do you believe it is important that Delta takes a stand against these anti-voter bills and stop donating to politicians that take away voting rights.
- Why it is important to you that Delta’s actions align with the statements and public pledges they’ve made to take "a stand against racism and injustice..."
- How Delta’s donations to these state legislators may impact your decision to fly with them again.
