Patagonia to donate $1 million to Georgia voting rights groups
The Hill ^ | 4/6/21 | JOSEPH CHOI

Posted on 04/06/2021 3:10:11 PM PDT by conservative98

Outdoor clothing company Patagonia announced on Monday that it would donate $1 million to multiple voting rights groups in Georgia in direct response to the restrictive voting legislation that recently passed in the state.

In a press release, Patagonia celebrated the record amount of voter turnout seen in the 2020 election, reiterating the assessment made by many voting officials that they were "safe, secure elections."

"But instead of celebrating democracy in action, a group of lawmakers in Georgia and states across America are doing everything in their power to make it harder for their constituents to vote," Patagonia CEO Ryan Gellert said.

"Protecting our democracy is an all-hands-on-deck commitment that's ongoing. Standing in solidarity with Black CEOs and business leaders, I call on fellow CEOs to join in denouncing these attacks on our democracy and to do more than make a corporate statement," Gellert continued.

Gellert stated that the $1 million donation would be divided equally between the Black Voters Matter Fund and the New Georgia Project.

Ya know, with all these anti-American companies who want elections to remain fraudulent free for all’s, I’m am going to be saving a lot of money.

Any effing company I see siding with these Democrat misfits, will be added to my, “No sale” list. I refuse to buy their bull sh*t.

Same here. I’ve purposely avoided buy any of their products just due to their politics.

“Only the citizens of this country should be allowed to vote. Moscow wouldn’t let you vote in an election, right? “

“Your voting is restrictive! “

I hate these people.

For years I’ve bought all that sort of clothing from L.L.Bean. Pleasantly surprised they are Trump supporters.

Actually, most of the high end trendy and superficial name brand clothing I have was purchased used. I care about performance, not brand name.

So Patagonia believes that a certain segment of the population is too stupid to obtain an ID. Seems racist to me.

The popular leader Ted Cruz in his fashionable and durable Patagonia jacket, suitable for town or country wear.

I say: Nip it, Ted. Nip it in the bud. Get rid of it to a clothes drive.

I believe he’s probably put on 65 pounds since two months ago so it doesn’t fit, anyway.

I’m quite sure the million will mostly go into the pockets of those running the “voting rights groups”. Way to go, patagonia... [sarcastic voice]: You’re making a difference! Lol...

Follow the money. Every ceo or corporation that has criticized GA’s voting law has deep connections to China.

Great point.

I am sure none of their hard working employees could have used any of the money.

I shake my head that Bezos ex has billions to give away to liberal causes while their hard working employees can’t get good benefits.

I am sure Patagonia has some cheap labor that could have used a little extra money.
