FLORIDA: Publix Ends Political Donations As Parkland’s David Hogg Leads Die-In At Local Store [VIDEO]

A huge victory for David Hogg!

The Orlando Sentinel reports:



Publix has suspended making political contributions in the wake of mounting pressure over its support of Adam Putnam, a Republican candidate for governor who strongly backs the National Rifle Association.

“We would never knowingly disappoint our customers or the communities we serve,” said company spokesman Dwaine Stevens in a statement Friday. “As a result, we decided earlier this week to suspend corporate-funded political contributions as we reevaluate our giving processes.”

The announcement came shortly before “die-in” protests organized by anti-gun activist David Hogg began in Florida, including at a store in Orlando just east of downtown. Hogg is a student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, where a gunman killed 17 students and faculty on Feb. 14.
