This Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday, pledge not to shop from the corporations enabling Trump’s fascist agenda. Hey Indivisibles,
Donald Trump is wildly grasping for power that doesn’t belong to him -- and greedy corporations seem more than happy to give it up. They’re donating millions to curry Trump's favor, standing aside as his regime attacks workers and shoppers, and meekly caving to even the weakest, most dubious threats.
Our cowardly corporate leaders need a reminder that real power belongs to the people. And next week, during the biggest shopping weekend of the year, we’re sending them a message.
From Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday, we’re asking you not to shop from three major corporations enabling Trump’s fascist agenda.
Our Targets
 |
HOME DEPOT enables ICE terrorism by allowing Trump’s jackboots to violently detain and kidnap workers on its properties.
|
 |
TARGET caved to MAGA backlash by pulling Pride merch off the shelves, and canceled DEI programs that support Black workers and businesses.
|
 |
AMAZON provides technology to power ICE deportations while Jeff Bezos spends a fortune kissing up to Trump -- funding both his MAGA agenda and vanity projects like his ballroom.
|
These aren’t the only companies complicit in Trump's attacks on democracy -- far from it! -- but economic pressure is most effective when it’s concentrated and easy to join in on. We’re focusing our fire on three ubiquitous brands that are among the biggest corporations trying to profit by enabling Trump.
By withholding our support during one of the most important weekends of their year, we’ll make it clear that there’s a price to pay for enabling authoritarianism.
How to take action
To send a strong message, we need not just you, but your family, friends, and community, to commit to supporting mutual aid or small businesses instead of Home Depot, Target, and Amazon next weekend.
Here are three steps to take right now:
- Learn more: Make a plan to join the economic blackout from November 27 – December 1. Understand what we’re asking, why we’re doing this, and how to spend your dollars where they’ll do good.
- Let us know you’re with us: Pledge to pause shopping at Home Depot, Target, and Amazon. Don’t give any money to the companies undermining democracy. Support local businesses or mutual aid efforts instead.
- Spread the word: Use our graphics and customizable social posts to get others involved. Try to triple your impact by getting three other people to join the blackout.
This holiday season, let’s make our dollars count. Join us to tell Home Depot, Target, Amazon, and the whole corporate world: When you support Trump, we don’t support you.
In solidarity, Indivisible Team
