We need PERMANENT boycotts. DON’T GO BACK!! Abandoned them and leave them to rot.

Follow what I see every Canadian is doing in the grocery store. Look up the brand and if it’s American put it back and add to the permanent no buy list.

As an American I use Goods Unite Us to look up political contributions before buying

I second this app, I'm a big fan of the campaign finance reform score. If you want an easy way to fight the citizens united ruling, this is it.

Also want to give a shout out to https://www.opensecrets.org/. their site isn't as easy to use as goods, but the have a lot more data and if you can't find info about a company or politician on goods you can usually still find it on open secrets.

oh look. spaceX is at the top of 2024.

Just as a disclaimer, there are 10 trackers that Exodus detected that are embedded in this app. I'm not saying don't use it, just promoting awareness.

Good to know. I don't actually use the app since the website is fine, and I have Firefox with ublock origin for that. Appreciate the info though!

I did this for Facebook and some other companies like X and avoiding using Walmart back in 2010.

I mean im american but im pretty much like this. A bit limited with my wife but we don't buy subscriptions, don't have smartphones, and are getting our stuff second hand a lot now. Granted this has been a thing with us thats just been growing for like the last decade. Essentially we have just gotten more and more serious about and emphasizing more the first two parts of reduce, reuse, recycle.
