The Boycott List

A boycott can express a clear boundary, but a long list without context quickly becomes difficult to verify or sustain. Start with the conduct at issue, the change requested and the evidence you will revisit.

Consumer action becomes stronger when its purpose can be stated in one careful sentence.

Keep the claim current

Use primary statements, reputable reporting and dated information. Companies, ownership and policies change; responsible action includes checking whether the reason still applies.

Design the alternative

Decide what you will do instead, whether that means choosing another provider, buying less or contacting the company directly. A workable alternative turns intention into practice.
