“There is no middle ground”: Protecting Voting Rights with Ken Frazier & Ken Chenault

A group of Black business executives are urging the rest of corporate America to oppose legislation aimed at restricting voting access, following a new law in Georgia that critics say disproportionately hurts voters of color. Merck CEO Ken Frazier and former Chairman and CEO of American Express Ken Chenault led a group of executives in publishing an open letter in The New York Times pushing Wall Street to wield its power. Frazier and Chenault discuss the effort to rally opposition to legislation in Georgia and 43 other states, and they discuss corporate America’s role in speaking out against voter suppression. Frazier and Chenault consider vocal opposition in the C-suite an obligation to morality and to democracy, and they underline the significance of this moment in U.S. history.
