   Conservative shareholder-activists have turned up the pressure on what   
   they say is liberal-leaning "woke" corporate culture with several   
   proposals at annual boardroom meetings.   
      
   The activists said they felt buoyed by responses to moves by Disney   
   and Kohl's. Disney's earnings were worse than expected in the first   
   quarter as Florida stripped the company of preferential tax benefits   
   because of its transgender political lobbying. Kohl's shareholders   
   rejected a liberal investor's push to replace up to 10 board directors   
   at their annual meeting Wednesday.   
      
   ...   
      
   Meanwhile, shareholders at Verizon, ConocoPhillips and CVS Health   
   voted down proposals aimed at exposing liberal political activism on   
   issues such as racial hiring quotas and Chinese communist business   
   ties after their boards of directors recommended against them.   
      
   "The more newsworthy aspect for proponents like us is that we have the   
   opportunity to speak to directors and top executives directly at these   
   shareholder meetings," Paul Chesser, director of the Corporate   
   Integrity Project at the National Legal and Policy Center, said in an   
   email.
