Greenpeace USA calls on AT&T, Comcast and Verizon to stop funding politicians who sponsor anti-voter & anti-protest legislation & to support voter protection bills; companies did not respond

Over the past year, hundreds of companies have released statements in support of voting rights in the United States and the Movement for Black Lives. Greenpeace USA has conducted research on which of these companies have supported legislators pushing anti-voting and anti-protest bills. This research names AT&T, Comcast, and Verizon as three of these companies and calls on them to publicly support the For The People Act (H.R. 1/S. 1) and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act (H.R. 4).

Business & Human Rights Resource Centre invited AT&T, Comcast, and Verizon to respond to these allegations; they did not.
