Boycotts

Boycotts can be an incredible tool for affecting change in our country. They’re easy to do, effective and morally right. Below is a short list of companies we feel don’t deserve your support. Boycotts are even more effective if the company knows why they’re losing revenue, so feel free to send them a letter or email explaining how they’ve lost your support and how they can get it back.

Tesla

Owned by self proclaimed “genius” Elon Musk, Tesla car company hasn’t deserved our business for years for it’s anti-consumer and anti-worker stances alone. That was long before their owner sided with Donald Trump by doing a Nazi salute behind the presidential seal. Now you see a Tesla and have to wonder what kind of person would want to be associated with the brand at all.

Amazon

Another anti-worker company, Amazon is famous for putting workers safety at risk in the name of greater profits for one of the most profitable companies in the world. While workers are asked to skip bathroom and water breaks in sweltering warehouses; Jeff Bezos pays millions for outer space rocket vacations and rubs shoulders with Donald Trump and the other authoritarians at the White House. No doubt hoping to get some more lucrative tax breaks.

Nestle

Human rights violations, child exploitation, baby formula scams and draining water from drought affected regions in order to bottle it up and sell it for a profit; is there anything Nestle won’t do for a dollar?

Twitter

Owned by the right wing’s favorite Sieg-Heiling wonder-boy, it’s another Elon Musk company! Twitter has been accused of actively adjusting its algorithm to promote right wing lies and hate speech over anything else. Just take 10 minutes to scroll through Twitter’s “discussions” should be enough to convince you to leave and never come back.

Google

“Don’t be Evil” was once a core value of Google, later replaced by “Do the right thing”, we can assume the core principle of Google is now “Who’s going to stop us?” Google’s history is rife with privacy abuses, anti-trust violations and censoring the internet at the behest of authoritarian governments.

AI

This generation of AI’s and other LLM’s (Large Language Models) were trained on stolen data, use an astounding amount of energy and will be used to displace and marginalize real workers. AI’s will be another tool of the rich and powerful to erode the working and middle class.
