I was amazed to learn about how many major companies do business with the NRA (discounting rooms and rentals etc.), as if it was just some innocuous group like the 4H clubs or Shriners or something.Nonlinear FC wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2018 11:01 am I just signed a dumb petition to get Amazon to drop the NRA channel. I'm looking at companies still doing business with the NRA and for the first time in my life I think I'm going to actually engage with a boycott.
I live in a state where my vote doesn't really move the needle (in a good way.) But trying to figure out a way to affect change is where I'm at now. I'll probably look at races where an NRA lackey is in trouble as places to donate as we get into the summer and races start to heat up.
Small dollars, to be sure, but it's something.
Clearly, this is the way to get things done. Shame shareholders at AGMs by protesting with photos of dead students, buy air time, something to show the average person who wasn't aware of the tie ins that these companies are indirectly condoning mass slaughter. Something to keep the momentum building.
Maybe a "reverse boycott" would have an effect - like support companies after they cut ties with the NRA.
