I believe it, but what have they done?

Judge for yourself, https://www.gapinc.com/en-us/articles/2020/06/our-commitments-a-culture-of-belonging.
My biggest issues with them:
Black Lives Matter is a racist slogan. yet they tout it constantly since the Floyd murder.
This year they're focusing on "get out the vote" for blacks and latino because they want to get rid of Trump.
Supporting vote by mail (fraud)
All hypocrisy, because the majority of their clothing made in China and Vietnam by slave laborers.

How do I know this? I have a family member that works in their corp offices.

Companies engaging in GOTV campaigns for Democrats is a deal-breaker for me. Thanks for letting me know.

Have you considered joining the Matrix chatroom I linked above btw? You sound like you know your stuff and I could use your help. If you're not interested in that though, I have a sub at /s/Activism you might be interested in. But I'm hoping the chatroom will gather enough people to get a real boycott going.

I'll subscribe to the /s/activism, I'm not much for chatrooms, however I'd like to learn more about how to use Riot.

The chatroom is on Riot. There's a client you can get from https://riot.im, but I think just clicking the link should bring you into the chatroom.

Either way, hope to see you on /s/Activism at least! Do you have any ideas for content that would work there?

I don't know if it lines up exactly with the spirit of /s/Activism, but I'd like to find a way to expose the mainstream media bias.
I mean, we all know they're biased, but the very very real danger they're putting Americans in by picking sides in politics is a sick perversion of the 1st Amendment. Which comes before the 2nd Amendment. If the 1st Amendment fails, the 2nd Amendment is the fall back to make sure our rights can never be taken away.
The reason we were guaranteed freedom of the press was to expose government corruption. Now the media is just as corrupt and in the pocket of the politicians.
