    @TitoFan here is a few companies that anti trumps are boycotting

    Activists tried to block Donald Trump with their votes -- and now they’re trying to do it with their dollars.
    In October, technology and media marketing specialist Shannon Coulter started the hashtag #GrabYourWallet, which encourages people to actively boycott businesses that carry Trump products. That hashtag underwent something of a revival this week, when users on Twitter began to circulate a continuously updating Google doc of businesses that do business with the Trump family, as well as their customer relations contacts.

    “Our favorite stores, the stores that we are the loyal customers of, are profiting directly from a campaign that we consider to be hateful—that we consider to be on the backs of people of color, of women, and of LGBTQ people—and it’s not okay,” Coulter explained on MSNBC in October.

    #GrabYourWallet encourages consumers to boycott businesses who endorsed Trump or currently work with his properties. It also includes mainstream media publications, like People, who have been accused of trying to normalize Trump and his candidacy.

    While Ivanka Trump has brushed aside the boycotting campaign, it is seeing real impact. According to FastCompany and data sourced from ShopRunner, Ivanka Trump’s brand has seen a 54 percent drop in “interest,” or item views on select online retailers.



    #GrabYourWallet is based in a Google Doc, and there are plans to build a website and an app around the list, according to Coulter’s comments in the #GrabYourWallet Facebook page.


    Here’s an partial list of companies on the Google doc:


    Companies with leaders that have endorsed Trump



    Yuengling beer
    NASCAR
    MillerCoors
    Jenny Craig
    UFC
    Hobby Lobby
    New Balance


    Some major companies that do business with Trump family

    6pm.com
    Amazon
    Belk.com
    Bloomingdale’s
    Bed, Bath & Beyond
    Burlington Coat Factory
    Dillards
    DSW
    HSN
    Hudson Bay
    Lord & Taylor
    Macy’s
    Marshalls
    Neiman Marcus
    Nordstrom
    Overstock.com
    TJ Maxx
    Zappos


    It may prove impossible for people to successfully boycott all these companies -- but energy is high right now, and for many activists, anything is worth trying.

    And tits this is an older list so many more have joined. Many of these companies already dropped any trump products. Ivan’s closed up her business. Let’s not forget hobby lobby and chix filet, and they pay workers a very decent wage.
