A group of religious leaders is calling for a boycott of Georgia-based Home Depot, saying the home improvement giant hasn’t done enough to oppose the state’s new voting laws.

African Methodist Episcopal Bishop Reginald Jackson said the company has remained “silent and indifferent” to his efforts to rally opposition to the new state law pushed by Republicans. Jackson had a meeting last week with Georgia-based executives to urge them to oppose the voting law, but said he’s been unable to contact Home Depot. The company didn't immediately respond to an email Tuesday.

Boycotts have aimed to pressure business leaders to push elected officials to change.

Gov. Brian Kemp has responded to the call for a boycott in a live press conference and opposes the movement. 

"This insanity needs to stop," Kemp said. "The people that are pushing this, that are profiting off of it, [like Stacey Abrams and others,] are now trying to have it both ways. There is a political agenda here and it all leads back to Washington, D.C."
