If Pressure Group Truly Means What It Says, It Will Push Coke to Drop Ties to Radical Environmental Group

Washington, D.C. – If the activists at the group Color of Change are serious about wanting to keep the Coca-Cola Company from hurting the black community, members of the Project 21 black leadership network suggest that the group demand the soft drink manufacturer also sever its ties to the World Wildlife Fund for its support of overburdening regulation.

Coca Cola’s support for the radical environmental agenda only exacerbates these maladies for black families,” said Project 21 spokesman Horace Cooper.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Americans United for Life President and CEO Dr. Charmaine Yoest called the controversial healthcare law before the U.S. Supreme Court today “the largest expansion of abortion since Roe v. Wade.” To combat that expansion, AUL has challenged the law on multiple fronts, including joining an amicus curiae brief in the arguments last week in United States Department of Health and Human Services v.
