Column: Dear Hollywood, the GOP in Georgia is threatening democracy. Silence is not an option

The law restricts voting by mail and gives greater control to the state legislature over how elections are run. It is part of a wave of GOP-backed bills introduced after former President Trump’s false claims of election fraud.

It was, and remains, a legitimate argument — the pain of any attempt to put economic pressure on an institution is invariably felt first, and most keenly, by the workers, who are often the very people the boycott is intended to aid.in 2019; the loss of that kind of money would definitely get political attention, but it would also undoubtedly harm those residents who earned some of it and damage a community already reeling from the COVID-19 pandemic.

In any case, Hollywood wasn’t listening in 2019, at least not to those calling for a boycott. A few directors and producers swore to stop working in Georgia, while others said they would stay and help the fight, but most studios and production companies chose not to get involved in controversy around the abortion law, which many believed and drop boxes weren’t enough, it is now against the law to provide food and water to voters waiting in line .

Biden called the new legislation “an atrocity”; Michael Waldman, the president of the Brennan Center for Justice, likened it to Jim Crow laws; the NAACP and several voter activist organizations including the Black Voters Matter Fund have filed lawsuits; and many have called on large Georgia based-corporations, including Home Depot, Delta and Coca-Cola, to denounce the new voting restrictions or risk national boycotts.Thus far, only Delta has responded.

Y’all should read the new law. It actually improves access to minorities by mandating shorter lines and more polling locations.
