A group of black faith leaders in Georgia are targeting Home Depot — which has its headquarters in the state — and calling for a boycott of the company because it refuses to publicly criticize Georgia’s new voting law.
The Home Depot was founded in 1978. In 1979, co-founders Bernard Marcus and Arthur Blank, who are both Jewish, opened the first two stores in Atlanta, Georgia, where the company’s headquarters are still located. The Home Depot Foundation has donated over $200 million to various causes, including Habitat for Humanity and the City of Hope National Medical Center, and offers the U.S. military community a 10% discount. Since 1993, the “Team Depot” program has given grants to veteran-based organizations and has worked with the Georgia Emergency Management Agency’s Ready Georgia campaign to aid emergency preparedness among Georgia’s children.
