You should be boycotting these companies already because they support extreme right politics by their ALEC membership:

  • FedEx
  • UPS
  • Motorola
  • Anheuser Busch
  • American Express
  • Bose
  • Chevron
  • Marlboro
  • Sony
  • Texaco
  • Boeing (fly on Airbus instead, see how to boycott Boeing)

You should be boycotting Amazon for many reasons.

If you oppose private prisons, then you already boycott these banks:

  • #BankOfAmerica (#BofA)
  • #FifthThird
  • #JPMorgan #Chase
  • #PNC Bank
  • #Suntrust
  • #USBank (#USBancorp)
  • #WellsFargo

Don’t think they are out of reach to Europe – many European small banks that you assume are ethical actually outsource their investments to JP Morgan. Also, BofA uses different branding outside the US.

If you like transparency with food labeling, then you endorse labeling of #GMO food, in which case you boycott companies that lobbied against GMO labeling. There are hundreds of companies that fucked us over, but these are the top ten financers of anti-labeling lobby:

  • PepsiCo
  • Nestlé
  • General Mills
  • Coca-Cola
  • ConAgra
  • Campbell Soup
  • The Hershey Company
  • J.M. Smucker
  • Kellogg
  • Mondelez

Some of those mushroom into many brands. See the attached infographic.

      I’m not going to dig up my notes or look stuff up but off the top of my head:

      • FedEx ships shark fins, slave dolphins, and hunting trophies.
      • Motorola supplies the IDF (Israeli military)
      • Chevron got caught in project cloakroom, where they spent $100k to arrange secret meetings between large corps and law makers
      • Sony got caught putting GPL code in their DRM code
      • Boeing obviously prioritized money above lives when it decided to conceal known safety defects to avoid training pilots, which led to many deaths.
      • Nestlé (Swiss company) sold dodgy baby formula in a scandal that caused infant deaths
      • Pepsi is the worlds biggest consumer of palm oil (deforestation)
      • Coca cola sponsors rodeos in Texas, thus cruelty to animals. It is also a big palm oil consumer

      Tech companies and banks have such a long list of wrong doing I can’t be bothered to list it here and now. Hard to say with each company what is the worst act. Though I will say that Microsoft sold s/w licenses to African schools that it knew did not even have computers, then gave a kickback to the school admins who arranged the deals.
