General Motors: Withdraw your sponsorship of the RNC & stop funding attacks on our democracy NOW!

This week, tens of thousands of MAGA Republicans will be attending the Republican National Convention (RNC), where Trump will officially become the Republican presidential nominee. And the RNC is in large part funded by the Heritage Foundation, the group behind the extreme Project 2025 plan to give Trump unchecked powers to eliminate abortion, hurt working and middle class people, fire civil servants, and rollback our rights and freedoms while reshaping all aspects of the government. By sponsoring the RNC, this is what General Motors is associating with. It’s inexcusable.
Will you sign the petition to demand that General Motors stop donating to Republicans and stop funding attacks against our democracy NOW?

Why is this important?
Unfortunately, this is not the first time that General Motors has had to be held accountable for this. In the aftermath of the white supremacist attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, General Motors was part of a wave of companies that suspended donations to election deniers, pledging to pause their political contributions and reevaluate their standards. But in 2021, it was revealed that GM broke its promise and its PAC donated tens of thousands of dollars to reelect lawmakers who voted to overturn the election, making them one of the top corporate donors to insurrectionists.
By donating to the RNC, where MAGA Republicans will spew lies, hatred, bigotry, and disinformation, GM is undermining our democracy.
The implementation of MAGA Project 2025 under a second Trump term would cause irreparable harm to our country—from sabotaging our electoral process, implementing a national abortion ban, and eliminating Social Security and Medicare all the way up to the complete degradation of laws that protect bodily autonomy and marginalized communities. All protections and regulations are at risk, and if you think you and your community will be unaffected, you're wrong.
Trump claims to not know anything about Project 2025 or who is behind it. That is a lie. Many of members of Trump’s former administration and Trump allies are involved with Project 2025, and in 2022, when talking about the Heritage Foundation, Trump said, “This is a great group, and they’re going to lay the groundwork and detail plans for exactly what our movement will do and what your movement will do when the American people give us a colossal mandate to save America." Is this really something GM wants to associate with?
For years, we've seen Republicans both enable and support Trump as he attacks our communities over and over. And after Trump incited the January 6 insurrection, the Republican Party did nothing to hold Trump accountable, and now, he is about to be chosen to become their presidential nominee. This is what General Motors' donations are enabling. It's unacceptable. They must stop this NOW.
