As always, when I’m thinking of shopping on #Amazon, I see if I can find it somewhere else. Not only does that usually work, but frequently I get discounts for buying direct from the supplier or manufacturer. Small businesses rule! #votewithdollars #defundtheoligarchy
Canadians must redouble our efforts to #BoycottUSA
If our political class lacks the intestinal fortitude to stand up to Trump, we must do it.
The consumer dollar is the key to success. We control each of those dollars, our choices make a difference.

Screengrab of a portion of the linked article.
Screengrab of perplexity research thread that reads “Perplexity The first modern privatized incarceration center was opened in 1984 by Corrections Corporation of America (now CoreCivic) in Tennessee. At that time, Ronald Reagan was the President of the United States. However, it's worth noting that earlier forms of prison privatization existed, such as in Louisiana in 1844, when a company operated a penitentiary as a factory using inmate labor”
Screengrab of a linked Perplexity research thread that reads: “Here is a list of mutual funds and investment firms that include GEO Group, CoreCivic, or their parent companies or subsidiaries in their portfolios: BlackRock: The largest investor in CoreCivic and GEO Group, primarily through passive funds that track major indices like the S&P Mid Cap 400 and Russell 2000 Vanguard: Another major holder of CoreCivic and GEO Group stocks, also mainly through index funds 1. State Street Global Advisors: Manages the SPDR series of index funds and ETFs that include investments in CoreCivic and GFO”
Screengrab of a linked Perplexity research thread that reads: “11:59 企 State Street Global Advisors: Manages the SPDR series of index funds and ETFs that include investments in CoreCivic and GEO 1. Fidelity Investments: Significant holder of both companies in various mutual funds and ETFs • Prudential's QMA Unit: Also includes these private prison stocks in its investment portfolios 1. These firms typically hold shares of CoreCivic and GEO Group through various mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs), often without investors being aware due to the nature of index fund investments.”

This has been in the easier/quicker column of my divestment list for a while now.

Who else is thinking about buying a #Costco membership right now even though the nearest location isn’t convenient & you’re unlikely to use it more than maybe once or twice a year? 😹

3) Support Ethical Alternatives – A boycott is even more effective when we redirect our spending to businesses that align with our values, such as small businesses, union-friendly companies, and ethical brands.

Share a pic of your Prime Membership cancellation in solidarity to the resistance. GenX, especially, please share how we shopped before Amazon existed. We did it before, we can do it again, and we can teach others how to do it. #resist #votewithdollars
Time to delete some apps friends! AirBNB is compromised. There are plenty of other options. Don’t rent from them. Don’t use them to manage your properties.

There’s this wonderful app called Goods Unite Us (GUU) where you can check every business for whether they donate more to Rs or Ds. Some ppl are putting up lists of companies that retain DEI policies, like Costco, but harder to find. #VoteWithDollars
Ace gives 55% of their political dinations to Rs. True Value gives 75%. Technically they both donate to Dems, but in both cases the majority of their political donations go to Rs. They both helped elect a fascist regime in America. #VoteWithDollars
How blind to think not serving someone does not cause pain. Vote with your dollars and chose not to spend there. It's not a boycott. It's not cancel culture. It's a legitimate reaction to an action. Spend your money as you please.

We need to create a thread of companies to ban/boycott. We need to start voting EVERY DAY with our dollars. #votewithdollars
