The movement to boycott companies doing business with Donald Trump is going strong.
The anti-Trump boycott movement is still going strong.
Shannon Coulter, a brand and digital strategist, started the #GrabYourWallet hashtag in October to encourage people seeking a way to take concrete action against Donald Trump to boycott companies — large and small — that do business with his family.
It seems the boycott is producing results. In February, brands such as Nordstrom, Jet.com, and Gilt dropped Ivanka Trump's fashion line.
Today, Grab Your Wallet's website highlights a condensed list of the "most boycott-able" companies. However, the official, more extensive boycott list — which users can now keep track of using a Google Chrome plug-in — targets many more companies for reasons ranging from selling Ivanka Trump's brand, to being owned by a member of the Trump family, to having a pro-Trump executive.
As of Wednesday, Grab Your Wallet's list of brands to boycott includes 51 retailers, from big names like Amazon and Macy's, to smaller companies like Wegmans and See's Candies.
Macy's
While the chain banned Donald Trump's menswear line in 2015 after the president-elect referred to Mexican immigrants as "rapists," it still sells Ivanka Trump's lines of clothing, jewelry, and handbags.
Neiman Marcus
The luxury retailer keeps flip-flopping on whether or not it sells Ivanka Trump's jewelry line.
Neiman Marcus was added back to Grab Your Wallet's boycott list after two Ivanka Trump rings were spotted on the retailer's website in early March. However, with the demise of Ivanka's fine jewelry line, the retailer may not be on the list for long.
L.L. Bean
Unlike many other companies on the list, L.L. Bean does not sell Trump products. Instead, it has been targeted because Linda Bean, a member of the company's board and the granddaughter of the company's founder, Leon Leonwood Bean, donated $60,000 to a Trump-supporting PAC called Making America Great Again LLC.
Grab Your Wallet is calling for a boycott until Linda Bean is removed from the company board.
