General Motors And Walgreens’ Leave ALEC | Call it an exodus. Two more companies, General Motors and Walgreens’, are the latest to withdraw from the conservative legislation-crafting American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), bringing the total up to 31 organizations that have left the group in just four months. In April, progressive advocates urged companies to leave ALEC because of its ties to voter suppression efforts around the country. Progressive organizing group ColorOfChange.org continues to lobby other ALEC stakeholders to leave the group.

Five More Groups Drop ALEC, Bringing Count To 29 | HP, CVS, BestBuy, Deere, and MillerCoors are the latest companies to join the mass exodus from the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). The Republican legislation-crafting group has been losing its members ever since scandals blew up over their voter suppression efforts and their push behind the Stand Your Ground Law that originally protected George Zimmerman in the killing of Trayvon Martin. These five new companies make a total of twenty nine groups to leave ALEC in recent months, as progressive advocacy organizations have urged companies to reconsider their memberships.

Dell is the 20th company and 24th group to end its relationship with ALEC, but some large corporations remain in the fold, including State Farm and AT&T.
