The recent surge in boycott and divestment campaigns targeting US companies is a chance to connect struggles. Join us and stand against colonialism, racist supremacy and the denial of rights in all its forms, whether in Palestine or beyond – and focus your efforts on the most complicit corporations.

Boycotts are working!

Another weird thing about #Trump - he thinks #boycotts are #illegal

Nutty as a fruit cake. #auspol #USPol #RESIST #TrumpCoup

#Boycotts: When #billionaires weep, they get nostalgic about #democracy.

#NAACP calling for #Boycotts of #Amazon, #Walmart ,& #Meta (& those folks HATE corporate boycotts so they must be hella pissed off now

#50501Movement organizing rolling boycotts of major brands, with a total #BuyNothingDay on 2/28

I avoid buying from corporations so this is easy for me. Hoping the practice will enable larger actions SOON

FYI - a response I got (soemtime after the fact) from Brew Dog

'Morning Wen,

Thanks for taking the time to get in touch - we are disappointed to hear that you are effected by James Watt's approach to business, I would advise that James Watt stepped down as the CEO of BrewDog in May 2024 and his online expressions are not reflective of our current executive team's approach to the company.

Many thanks,

Tash'

#ChickfilA is working with an #LGBTQ+ #charity as it attempts to #launch in the #UK yet again

This marks the third time the chain has attempted to launch in the #UnitedKingdom, after its first two locations faced massive #boycotts spearheaded by the #LGBTQ+ #community.

If #Americans had to choose between a full blown #Holocaust in the third world complete with gas chambers, or not having a fruit available out of season anymore, they'd press the Holocaust button instantly

Boycott Divest Sanction

Israel's brutal rampage in #Gaza has destroyed over half of all buildings and infrastructure in the strip. Not too mention the inhuman and sociopathic slaughter of the men women and children. Despite the widespread destruction, #Israel has shown no signing of slowing. This short clip talks of the very real economic effects impacting the state of Israel in illegally occupied #Palestine but also importantly mentions #boycotts

Cop Killer - #BodyCount

https://youtu.be/yg_S4JJMxPU?si=mpviAV4Om_G7yHwg

Fab live coverage from 1992.

When talking about #controversial #music, there are few more shining examples than #CopKiller. Recorded by #IceT’s rock group Body Count, “Cop Killer” is a heated #song about a victim of #PoliceBrutality who violently takes matters into his own hands. The song faced criticism from #LawEnforcement agencies, the Parents Music Resource Center #PMRC, President #GeorgeHWBush and the public in general. Some people responded through #protests and #boycotts of any company associated with the distribution of the record. This caused sales to skyrocket, but also prompted certain stores to take the album off their shelves. Some countries, such as #NewZealand, attempted to have the song and the #rap group itself completely #banned. Stockholders threatened to pull out from #WarnerBrosRecords and executives received #DeathThreats. While Ice-T stood by his work, stating that it was a #ProtestSong meant to reflect hateful emotions rather than encourage violence, he subsequently decided to recall the album, removing the trouble-making song upon re-release.

Oh no, #boycotts because of #genocide cancelled a superspreader event. Oh no, how sad.
