You should be every day voting with your wallet to prevent money flowing into the wrong hands. Boycott these ALEC members who non-stop fund the republican war chests:
- FedEx
- UPS
- Motorola
- Anheuser Busch
- American Express
- Bose
- Chevron
- Marlboro
- Sony
- Texaco
- Boeing (fly on Airbus instead, see how to boycott Boeing)
Quit driving. It’s not just the fuel burn that harms the environment. When you buy fuel, you fund the oil companies who fund republicans. Trump’s 4th biggest cash source came from oil giants. There is nothing worse for the environment than republicans.
Find out which companies funded Trump’s war chest directly, and boycott them.

There is likely a long list of banks. Banks love republicans in general. We need to get that list and get people off those banks. People should be using cash anyway since banks finance fossil fuels, private prisons, and republicans. In the very least, if you give a shit and you are not a deadbeat then you will avoid using these banks.
(edit) Home Depot, Disney, …, probably others. That’s a long article not an easy list so work required.
grab your wallet is an election cycle out of date, and sadly it’s in Google docs (so use Tor). But it still has a bit of relevance.
Europeans— You can take these actions too. You couldn’t vote for Kamala but you always have the power to vote with your feet. The first ALEC list is international entities.
US folks— In addition to the ALEC list at the top, the following are also ALEC members which (I believe) are US-only:
- CenturyLink
- Charter Communications
- Farmers/Foremost
- Geico
- LMG (Liberty Mutual/Safeco)
- Nationwide Insurance
- PNC bank
- StateFarm
- TimeWarner
(update) Dug up a list of companies that are said to finance AIPAC, a PAC who targets democrats who go against Israel. It blows a huge amount of money on the right-wing candidate which apparently works every time. It’s so effective there is a verb for it: AIPAC-ed. I have not vetted the list but when I look at it it’s all usual suspects of corps I already boycott.

I have not used FedEx and UPS for like 15 years now. Boycotting Amazon really helps because it essentially boils down to buying local.
Not true. USPS ships pkgs.
In one very rare circumstance where I bought online in the past 15 yrs, the seller had a field for notes on the order form. I wrote something like “You do not say how you ship this. Please ship it USPS or DHL, or if that is not possible then cancel my order. Thanks.” They shipped it USPS.
Those in power love you for saying this. You could not advocate for them better than this boot-licking drivel.
What keeps boycotts from working is the want for convenience and laziness; you are 100% correct. It is a choice. No one said it is the easy choice.
Right, I’m sure those in power love when people advocate for a violent uprising.
You seem to have no idea what “boycott” means. A boycott is a peaceful action.
Dude, you’re being intentionally dense. I’m saying it’s ineffective and it’s time for violence.
