A nationwide boycott of Home Depot is being called for through the month of July, echoing a boycott on Target over the discontinuation of DEI programs that has found the retail chain suffering from diminished foot traffic.
The targeting of Home Depot comes alongside calls for boycotts against Starbucks, Amazon, and all of Jeff Bezos-related businesses, including Whole Foods and Zappos.
The boycotts, called for by a loose collection of L.A. activists for weeks now over its perceived role in aggressive I.C.E. detentions and deportations, was pointedly fleshed out this morning by John Schwartz, president of The People's Union, a stated non-partisan group organized for "economic resistance, corporate accountability, and real justice for the working class."
