List of companies that halted U.S. political contributions in January 2021 explained

In January 2021, a number of companies halted their political contributions in the United States, primarily in response to some Republican legislators' objections to certification of the 2021 United States Electoral College vote count and the ensuing mob that attacked the U.S. Capitol. All of these companies announced suspension of donations to legislators and/or executive branch members who were challenging the vote certification, unless otherwise stated.
