Boycotts - Latino Freeze Movement. Hold the line, hold your money. Good/bad list included at link

https://www.latinofreeze.com/

Do what you can, maybe some you can’t live without. Any level of withholding is a contribution to an overall reduction in their profits. There is power in volume. If you are a shopper of the nice list, great! If you can shift from the naughty to the nice, bravo!

This is something we must do towards saving our democracy. This is not just for Latin/Latina people. We must ALL stand up!!!! Send a message with your $$$$.

but in this area we are a bit restricted. Many of those brands are unavailable locally. Others are well, kind of dubious---for instance, Walgreens is not on my "preferred" list for Part D and also has some very nasty claims against it, so I have to go to Walmart. Likewise Planet Fitness is known locally as a "pickup joint" so we belong to a locally owned gym.

Of the need for recognizing that some people will have less impact but others will have great impact, hence do what we can!

... I'm giving it to organizations that are resisting, and I'm giving it to organizations that will assist those most harmed by it.

Food banks and agencies that support LGBT youth are a good place to start.
