CVS Health is funding the worst group of MAGA Politicians you’ve never heard of...meet RAGA.
The Republican Attorneys General Association (RAGA) is a political organization that helps far-right lawyers push extreme policies as a state’s Attorney General (AG). MAGA RAGA AGs use their state’s legal power to end abortion access; assail LGBTQ+ rights; attack social justice; destroy our environment; assault our democracy; and so much more.
RAGA’s funders include Big Oil & Gas, Big Pharma, Big Tobacco, the Gun Lobby and CVS.
Despite CVS’s corporate statements about standing up for marginalized groups and democracy, CVS and its subsidiaries have given $375,235 to RAGA since 2020.
Attacking Social Justice
WHAT CVS SAYS: CVS Health is launching the Community Equity Alliance to “elevate the voices, needs and experiences of local communities.”
WHAT RAGA DOES: Since RAGA AG Ken Paxton (TX) took office in 2015, at least 72% of the Election Integrity Unit’s prosecutions were against Black and Latinx individuals.
WHAT KAREN LYNCH SAYS: “Just look at the numbers with maternal health in America. It is unacceptable that a country of ours is going backwards in maternal health. We need to make sure that people and women are getting the care and the services that they need.”
WHAT RAGA DOES: RAGA AG Lynn Fitch (MS) played a central role in overturning Roe v. Wade, which she called "egregiously wrong." AG Fitch argued that “ending most legalized abortions will “empower” more women to pursue careers while also raising children”.
Ending Abortion Access
Assailing LGBTQ+ Rights
WHAT CVS SAYS: “We take great pride in joining more than 100 companies that have signed the Business Statement Opposing Anti-LGBTQ State Legislation, which builds on our history of support for the LGBTQ community.”
WHAT RAGA DOES: 22 RAGA AGs filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Agriculture to stop the agency from enforcing federal anti-discrimination laws based on gender or sexual orientation.
HOLD YOUR COMPANY RESPONSIBLE
Dear Karen Lynch,
We urge CVS to immediately stop funding the Republican Attorneys General Association (RAGA) due to its role in restricting abortion access, assailing LGBTQ+ rights, attacking social justice, and assaulting our democracy.
Supporting RAGA contradicts CVS’s commitment to equality and social responsibility. We expect CVS to align its funding with its values and cease supporting groups that attack fundamental human rights.
