Cabela's or REI? Dick's Sporting Goods or Bass Pro Shops? This month we're rolling out a new set of ratings: Sporting Goods Companies. Here's how you can make the switch to companies that don't support Trump or his agenda with their donations: spendingspotlight.org/the-spot/pos...
Three of Spending Spotlight's ratings on Sporting Goods companies, noting that Bass Pro Shops, Cabela's and Scheels have all contributed to Trump, supported anti-LGBTQ+ or anti-choice politicians, or received a poor rating on their position on gun control. Users are encouraged to switch to other companies instead.

From Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday, we’re saying “We Ain’t Buying It” and asking Americans to hit pause on buying from corporations that enable Trump’s fascist agenda: weaintbuyingit.com/?utm_source=ind_wabi
(above images of the Target, Amazon, and Home Depot logos that have been crossed out) We Ain't Buying It Target Companies

This action is taking direct aim at Target, for caving to this administration's biased attacks on DEl; Home Depot, for allowing and colluding with ICE to kidnap our neighbors on their properties; and Amazon, for funding this administration to secure their own corporate tax cuts.

Just change apps! 🚗 Want one simple switch you can make to take money away from a supporter of Donald Trump? Switch from Uber to Lyft. Read more here: spendingspotlight.org/the-spot/pos... and here: spendingspotlight.org/the-spot/pos...
An infographic from SpendingSpotlight.org. Uber was a major contributor to Trump. Unlike Uber, Lyft has not contributed to Trump. 

We consider Lyft to be a green light company.

"Almost overnight, they chose to change their tune, and made it appear as if their values and investment into diversity were negotiable. The result was that consumer trust eroded faster than any quarterly gains could offset." Woops. Ditching "Diversity, Equity and Inclusion" cost Target bigtime.

Brawny and Sparkle are owned by Koch Industries, that's right, those guys. Koch Industries supports anti-LGBTQIA+ politicians, and pols who oppose abortion. They've backed the NRA at the Supreme Court. Bounty & 7th Generation are better alternatives. #TossBrawny @spendingspotlight.org
