What brands should we NOT boycott? (lemm.ee)

I get the boycotts for Target, Walmart, and Amazon for rolling back their DEI programs and bowing to Trump. What companies are treating employees fair or standing up for human decency? Seems like Costco gets brought up?

Most things I need I can get from my local grocery store which seems pretty non evil but where do you go if you need like a new keyboard?

NAACP has a list of companies committed to DEI: https://naacp.org/campaigns/black-consumer-advisory

Apple and Ben and Jerry's right at the top lmfao

[–] piyuv@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Ben & Jerry’s is actually cool though, no? Although they’re a capitalistic enterprise in the full sense, they had the spine to put a stand against Gaza genocide

But Ben didn't have the spine or brain to stand against Putin.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think HEB hasn't done anything yet to kowtow to the current admin's policies.

[–] MrEff@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

I miss HEB. family owned and private. Thus why they get away with treating their employees so well, paying them well, and supporting their communities all while also being the largest private employer in the state of Texas. That company is a great example of how a company can both grow to a large size and not be evil. If they ever go public you know all of its charm will instantly get cut in the name of shareholder value.

Yeah. That’s my local grocery store. It sounds like they treat their employees well and do a lot in the community. And tortillas.
