"A Gen Z-led advocacy group fighting for working-class priorities on Tuesday announced a boycott campaign targeting major corporations "that enable, profit from, or directly collaborate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the broader racist policies of the Trump administration." Beyond the Ballot launched " Not With My Dollars: ICE Out of My Wallet " as President Donald Trump's violent crackdown on immigrants in diverse communities across the United States continues and just days before Black Friday kicks off the winter holiday shopping season."
""We cannot out-organize a fascist administration while simultaneously bankrolling the companies profiting from its cruelty," said Victor Rivera, the organization's executive director, in a statement. "Every dollar spent at a complicit corporation is a dollar funding the abduction and disappearance of our neighbors. It's time to make corporate complicity unprofitable, for good. The group is taking aim at e-commerce behemoth Amazon and its grocery subsidiary, Whole Foods; tech giants Dell and Microsoft; Home Depot; streaming platform Spotify; and retail chain Target."
Beyond the Ballot, a Gen Z-led advocacy group for working-class priorities, launched "Not With My Dollars: ICE Out of My Wallet" to boycott corporations that enable, profit from, or collaborate with ICE. The campaign targets Amazon, Whole Foods, Dell, Microsoft, Home Depot, Spotify, and Target and instructs shoppers on actions and alternatives. Organizers link corporate spending to funding ICE activities and call for corporate commitments to refuse collaboration with ICE and to abandon policies that support the administration's immigration enforcement. The campaign emphasizes making corporate complicity unprofitable and demands immediate policy changes, including restoring scrapped diversity, equity, and inclusion programs.
