Exclusive: 20% of Americans support boycott of firms aligning themselves with Trump agenda
www.theguardian.com
New poll also shows that a significant share of Americans will avoid companies that drop social-inclusion policies

Summary

A Harris Poll revealed that 20% of Americans support boycotting companies aligning with Trump’s agenda, including major brands like Amazon, Target, and Tesla.

Boycotts are driven by dissatisfaction with companies rolling back diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, with 46% citing DEI rollbacks as a reason.

Support for boycotts is stronger among younger, non-white, and Democratic demographics. Some boycotts, like the “Latino Freeze Movement” and religiously motivated Target boycotts, are coordinated within communities.

Companies cite legal pressures for DEI changes, while critics view it as a moral compromise.

    A lot of people don’t think boycotts make a difference. And they don’t unless a lot of people/dollars are involved.

    Sounds like a really apathetic society if not even the easiest and lowest effort form of protest is deemed “not worth it”. Considering the most recent protests by Serbians, the Dutch, and the French; Americans are absolute cowards.
