A spending boycott of big tech and other corporate supporters of the Trump administration is continuing nationwide.
“Resist and Unsubscribe” is the brainchild of New York University marketing professor Scott Galloway.
The 10 companies to boycott during February include:
– Apple, Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, Netflix, OpenAI, Paramount+, Uber and X.
As reported on his website, “Americans are feeling powerless to thwart the Trump administration’s assault on our nation’s values. Praised by tech CEOs, surrounded by sycophants, and enriched by his return to the White House, the president’s actions march on unchecked. Americans, however, have a powerful weapon that has been hiding in plain sight,” he wrote. “First, we must recognize that the president is unfazed by citizen outrage, the courts, or the media. He responds to one thing: the market. The most potent weapon to resist the administration is a targeted, month-long national economic strike — a coordinated campaign that attacks tech companies and firms enabling ICE — to inflict maximum damage with minimal impact on consumers. In sum, the shortest path to change without hurting consumers is an economic strike targeted at the companies driving the markets and enabling our president.”
The website offers quick links for consumers to unsubscribe from the above mentioned website. It also lists separately a variety of companies that it has identified as active enables of ICE.
