Canceled Amazon last year.
Stopped eating fast "food" (it ain't) in the 90s.
Haven't graced Walmart/Target with my presence in over a decade.
Zero reasons to go to Lowes.
Alas, no Costco or Aldi's nearby. 🙁
Support your local Asian markets too. I’m lucky to have a Global Foods close. Haven’t been able to afford Target since covid, and boycotting McDonald’s is just self care. Put your money where your mouth is people!
I think Hobby Lobby is a mega donor to the felon’s campaign. We stopped to set foot in there after finding out the owner is a big supporter of the felon.
Not all corporations are perfect. Just be mindful to cross-reference their policies, board of directors and shareholders. Apparently, McConnell’s wife is a BOD of Krogers, which is on the list here.
Do these organisations legally have to have removed their DEI policies yet? Are they over-complying in fear of 47? I ask as I’ve had pushback on an fb post about Aldi and want to make sure I have it right
Aldi specifically has scrubbed their DEI policies from their website but if you search it, it will direct you to their DEI policies in other countries. To me, that says it all - it’s merely performative removal for fear of retribution. It doesn’t mean the internal policy is gone.
Not a lot of choices near me either and I don't have a Costco, but their recent stand moved me to get the membership and start ordering online. Anything I can get from a good guy is a dollar less in the bad guy's pocket.
Truth. Costco online store features more than actual warehouses. Even though I shop at the warehouses, for items not available at warehouses, I first check out at the online Costco. Also you can get insurances through Costco. Costco membership has many benefits.
Check out https://goodsuniteus.com for a great app that allows you to look up companies and see how they distribute donations. Feels good to move my spending habits closer to my values!
Yes, I'm in!! We've loaded up on staples like oats, beans, froze fruits/vegetables and am committed to zero purchases for the month of February from those companies. I know everyone cannot do this and doing what you can is still quite good 💝
I like to support the local immigrant community and buy my vegetables, at the very least, in the Hispanic or Asian store. I figure I'm supporting marginalized communities and, at the same time, denying a sale to our enemies. Two birds, one stone and all that...
I have severe anxiety and rarely leave the house. Unfortunately, the co-op doesn't deliver, so I will need someone to go get it for me. I can't go into stores, or I would support local more often.
Got you covered.
Don't shop Amazon, we are eBay/Etsy people. Never shopped Target, gave up McDonalds with the heart attack 10 years ago. Use Home Depot instead of Lowes/Tractor Supply. Only thing I get from Walmart is car tires and I'm good for 40,000 miles on all vehicles.
I'm leaning more towards Ben & Jerrys & Cinnabon for my daily rations.
There's no better defender of Democracy than an old lady stuffed with sugar & vengeance!
Lowes CEO is Marvin Ellison. He is African American. Lowes has not and does not support Trump or his campaigns. I believe they are listed for rolling back DEI.

If your only choices are home depot and Lowes, you gotta pick one.
