Boycott Companies That Help Trump Detain Migrants, Thanks to Grab Your Wallet

otycd

Boycott companies that profit from the Trump administration’s zero-tolerance policy against migrants, thanks to this Grab Your Wallet spreadsheet.

 

Grab Your Wallet was among the earliest protest tools to arise after Trump’s election. It was literally one of the first things OTYCD wrote about. The first boycott list, which is still active, was designed to help you avoid giving money to Trump and his children.

 

Grab Your Wallet has assembled a new resource that lists companies and organizations that are profiting from the Trump administration policy toward migrants, which includes the creation of the camps where it’s holding migrants.

 

It’s dynamic and it’s periodically updated, so you’ll want to check back often.

 

Important note: If you choose to contact these companies, be polite and respectful. If you can’t effectively channel your anger, hold off until you can, or simply satisfy yourself with boycotting them without telling them why.

Attend a Lights for Liberty Protest Near You on Friday, July 12

otycd

Attend a Lights for Liberty protest near you on Friday, July 12.

 

The protest’s full name is Lights for Liberty: A Vigil to End Human Concentration Camps. Events that draw attention to the crisis created by the camps and by the Trump administration’s policies are planned across America and the world.

 

Because these protests are vigils, most events will take place at night, and many will take place near facilities that are holding migrants.

 

Events are being added all the time. We’re dropping the direct link to the event list here but will repeat it below.

If you can go, please consider inviting friends and family to come with you. You have power, and now is the time to use it.

 

If you can’t go, and you have experience with caring for children, consider offering to babysit for other protestors.
