Where else can I shop?

Corporations have an outsized influence on our government, and unfortunately they’re using it to prop up the Trump regime and enable his inhumane mass crackdown on immigrants.

We’re telling corporations they need to change their ways – to defend immigrants and our democracy! – and we’re telling them the only way they know how to listen: through the power of our wallets.

Take the “We Ain’t Buying It” PLEDGE to Boycott with SURJ this Nov 27-Dec 1!
