SUPPORT: USE YOUR PURCHASING POWER

Updated: Jun 7, 2020

Corporations earn profits off of your everyday purchases. And some of those profits are then donated to politicians and causes you might not agree with.

In fact, the average consumer funds politicians and PACs about 3 times more through their purchasing choices than through direct political contributions.

Avoid shopping with companies you don’t believe in—like corporations that support Trump!

And instead, support the things you do believe in by shopping with businesses that pay good wages, invest in communities, and combat climate change.
