Check out the links in my post, I'll also link them here:

https://www.breitbart.com/economy/2020/06/11/corporate-donations-to-social-justice/

https://conservativeus.com/the-full-list-here-are-the-269-companies-who-are-supporting-blm-antifa-riots/

There are definitely other good lists as well. Let me know if you'd want to help with this boycott project!

Yeah, I saw the links in your OP before but I hadn't seen an ordered list before, that's what was so interesting to me about the jpeg I linked. It seemed like an ordered list was in the works here on the sub wiki so if the work's completed elsewhere it might be worth linking. I linked this jpeg on the wiki. I wish I knew what project it was from but I only happened upon that jpeg.

I replied a while back that I thought the first, highest-impact thing I could do was to change where I'm banking, and after seeing this ordered list I feel vindicated in that. I've learned some about how to do that and started exploring other options but I haven't completed that step yet.

I'm not sure how high priority this project is for you right now but I thought I may as well ask since it seemed like an ordered list was the next step for the project as you were thinking of it about a month ago (idk if things have changed since then). It seems like the majority of the donations have come from only Bank of America so something that targeted even just only them might have an effect, and there are a lot of choices for banks. IIRC Bank of America has also previously come under question during the Occupy Wallstreet stuff for investing in companies people thought were engaging in unethical practices. I don't know if they changed their practices in response at that time.

It's your project, and I don't know whether or not this is the highest priority activity right now. If other stuff is higher priority right now then that's probably where the focus should stay right now. But I remembered this project when I saw that list and I haven't been keeping up with stuff here as much lately, so I figured I may as well ask.

ETA: Looks like Bank of America's donations did not go to BLM specifically.

I looked it up and it seems to be from this site. At least the text and the chart match. Unfortunately it doesn't provide more information than is already included in the image you linked.

It definitely is. I've been somewhat scattered the last few weeks due to everything going on, but thank you for reminding me about the boycott. I'm still interested in going forward with the project, just considering the best way to approach it.

The easiest thing to do right now would be to compile a very short list (around 10) of "absolutely must boycott" companies, the worst-of-the-worst. A short list would be a lot easier to spread around and memorize for the average person. I think the list I have in the OP is a good start, but maybe some companies are worse than those.

You found it! ... I guess you looked for the text? I tried doing a reverse image search but I didn't find anything.

I didn't realize the companies listed in OP were already the worst-of-the-worst. There's a lot of news I miss so I don't really know what different companies have done.
