Thank you Ellie. If the law has already been passed, can pressure on these companies make a difference at this point? I am more than happy to call and write them and any where else that will make a difference. I’m just wondering what can be done after this despicable law has been passed.

The law can be repealed. That is what happened when North Carolina passed one of those stupid bathroom bills. Businesses including sports franchises threatened to leave. The bill was repealed.

If the Atlanta Braves (MLB), the Atlanta Falcons (NFL), the Atlanta Hawks (NBA), the Atlanta Dream (WNBA) and Atlanta United (MLS) threated to pull up stakes and move, watch how fast repeal will come. And until that happens, it wouldn't hurt if visiting teams in all of these leagues refused to play in Georgia either.

Excellent! May I copy and post?! Lots of sport fans on my fb list.

Of course, I also suggested to the Braves that they immediately move their 2021 home schedule to San Juan and whomever got the message said they would pass it to management. (Too many of these team sites lack an email address.) Also wrote a letter to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Excellent! The letter will have impact at least!

Yes, to make your voice heard about how bad the voting bill just passed and enacted by the governor - disappointed in state reps not supporting the people of Georgia just their own personal power and to spread the word for support of FOR THE PEOPLE ACT 2021
