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
- 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grab your wallet is an election cycle out of date, and sadly it’s in Google docs (so use Tor).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.
None of that is an obsticle to boycotts, so you can do them in parallel.
It’s unclear what you mean by organizing your workplace. Politics at work can have dicey consequences. But if you are careful enough, you can amplify a boycott at a workplace without the workforce even knowing, as I did here.
An employer subcontracted HP for all the office PCs, which sat next to linux workstations. HP got a monthly payment per PC for loaning the hardware and servicing it. I configured emacs and other linux apps to make the HP PC redundant. Then I called HP and said come remove my PC, I don’t need it. My boss had no idea that was a political action… thinks I did that to save the company money or to get more desk space or something. I was happy to keep it that way. If he knew it was politically motivated it could have backfired. So the opportunities to do politics at work are sparse but I still look for them.
Exactly this. Great post!
