The People's Union USA is a nonpartisan group focused on "economic resistance, corporate accountability, and real justice for the working class."

Its founder, John Schwartz, said in a video shared to Instagram and TikTok "This July, we are boycotting Amazon, Starbucks and Home Depot for the entire month of July. And we're not just doing this because of their political view we are doing it for the people."

Schwartz went on to say in the video that Home Depot has "Quietly erased their Diversity, Equity and Inclusion page, as if standing for fairness or for equality or for representation, was something to be ashamed of. That was a choice."

In response, a Home Depot spokesperson shared a statement with Newsweek which read in part "For over 45 years, our business success has been driven by our eight core values, including respect for all people and taking care of our people."

The statement continued that Home Depot is "proud," to have a culture that "welcomes everyone."

It continued, "We believe it helps us achieve our business goals by supporting associates, building relationships and fostering innovation."
 
How about they boycott every single GOP???

A lot of those companies took down those programs to protect their employees from Maga.

Where were they for all the attacks on Disney and other companies? Where we saw review bombing for stuff like Ironheart? Or shows removing content like one of Pixar's cartoons that edited out a transgender character.

Go after the cause and not the result

There are groups out there trying to do rotating boycotts of various companies. There are services and goods that people need, so a total boycott of all agent orange businesses is not possible.

There are options. I no longer purchase anything through Amazon. I buy direct or via another supplier. Convenience is the hook. For instance there was some grits I like (no preservatives...just ground corn). I could not buy direct so I found another company that did sell direct. It may take a couple of days longer to get my items but I am in no hurry.

By the way I don't self checkout at grocery stores either.
