Several human rights groups are demanding Georgia-based corporations publicly denounce, what they’re calling, anti-voting legislation.
They rallied Monday outside the World of Coca-Cola in downtown Atlanta.
The demonstration began at 5:31 p.m. Monday, symbolizing House Bill 531 which is one piece of legislation the groups have called into question.
The organizers said they are putting pressure on these large corporations, like Coca-Cola and Home Depot, to stop funding lawmakers who co-sponsor voter suppression bills.
"There is no Coca-Cola without us," Toni Watkins with the New Georgia Project Action Fund said.
Dozens of protestors were part of a die-in in front of the museum on Monday.
The New Georgia Project Action Fund is among the organizers to claim that Coca-Cola has donated more than $30,000 to politicians co-sponsoring voter suppression bills while proclaiming to be allies to the movement.
