UPS Commends Georgia Legislature On Passing Hate Crimes Bill
June 24 2020 - 12:45PM
UPS® (NYSE: UPS), a global leader in logistics, commends the
Georgia Senate and House on approving bipartisan legislation that
includes additional penalties and sentences for any crime motivated
by a victim’s race, color, religion, national origin, sexual
orientation, gender or physical ability.
“The bipartisan actions of Georgia’s lawmakers this week have
brought this country one step closer to ensuring that hate crimes
will not be tolerated anywhere in America,” said Carol Tomé, UPS
CEO. “We still have more to do to eradicate racism, bigotry
and hate in our communities and UPS will continue to be a part of
those efforts to make justice and equity a reality for all.”
Last month UPS announced it was stepping up its actions in
support of justice, reform and equality for members of the Black
community in response to the peaceful protests calling for needed
change. Advocating for passage of a hate crimes law in Georgia and
the other three states without such legislation - Arkansas, South
Carolina and Wyoming - is part of that commitment.
