Check this out! Updated boycott list!

The companies we should not buy from

Here is a new list of the boycotts in place against the companies that are harming the homeless, poor, and other marginalized groups. Some have dropped their DEI initiatives; others have treated people in an inhumane fashion.

Please do not patronize these companies that are trying to prove it is alright to take money away from Black businesses, it is alright to implement racist policies, and it is acceptable to harass and harm the unhoused, the migrants, and others among us.

The boycotting process is one way we can fight back against the attempts to destroy all DEI and other equalizing processes.

New additions to the boycott list are airlines who mishandle wheelchair requests and in some cases simply “do not have enough wheelchairs available.”

In their attempts to make a huge number of Americans—and refugee seekers—the “other,” Trump and his supporters are trying to change our nation into one in which most people are not welcome. Not even American citizens.

How can that be right?
