Why do people get denied their right to vote? Have they committed a crime that disqualifies them from voting? Are they US citizens? Yes. Then what is the problem? Each American should have the right to vote. This has turned into a partisan issue. When the right to vote is the further issue from a partisan issue - or should be. Although, according to reporting, this is not the case.
In the video below, the NAACP Legal Director is interviewed about recent reporting around big business CEO's calling for better voting rights among our democracy:
Just like climate change and renewable energy. Big corporations are wise to wake up to the calling of the people of the land. If the majority wants to change, then the change should occur. With the fact that we live in a consumer-based economy, consumers will vote by purchasing choices.
If you are an important CEO of a company perusing this blog post, I would suggest returning to the boardroom table and searching for change. Change that encompasses equality - in race and gender. The world is changing. Can corporations change with it? Or will they be left behind?
By the sounds of the above interview, corporate CEO's see the writing on the wall. Change is imminent. Stay tuned!
