WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 The Congressional Black Caucus<\/a><\/span> on Tuesday called on major corporations across the U.S., including those that previously expressed support for voting rights and racial justice, to oppose redistricting efforts<\/a><\/span> by Republican-led states that seek to eliminate majority-Black U.S. House districts.<\/p>\n

In a letter sent to more than 250 companies, members of the Black Caucus urge them to condemn the redistricting efforts, which the lawmakers describe as \u201ccoordinated efforts to silence Black voices at the ballot box.\u201d Some of the companies had co-signed their own message to Congress five years ago urging lawmakers to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, a Democratic proposal<\/a><\/span> to restore and update the Voting Rights Act<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

That 2021 coalition, Business for Voting Rights, was backed by many of the country\u2019s most valuable and influential companies, including Apple, Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, Tesla, Salesforce, Target, PayPal, Intel and Starbucks.<\/p>\n
