One way B Corps can do that is by working to expand access to the ballot, using internal company policy, external communications, and advocacy. In the last few years, voting access has diminished across the United States. According to the ACLU “over the last decade, instead of protecting the Voting Rights Act (VRA) and expanding access to the ballot box, the Supreme Court and courts across the country have dismantled and gutted crucial parts of the VRA.” These changes have made it more difficult for people to exercise their right to vote, particularly for people in marginalized communities.

The goal of B Lab U.S. & Canada’s “We The People Means All The People” campaign is to help B Corps affect social and political change on the pressing matter of voter access. 

There are many ways companies can support voter access. B Corps are already taking the lead by engaging with their customers, employees, and communities on this important issue. To help highlight this important work, B Lab U.S. & Canada is partnering with the ACLU to educate the B Corp community on why voting rights matter, how to help Get Out the Vote within your company and community, and how to advocate on the federal and state level.
