I think I’ve been boycotting since before boycotting was a thing 🤔
The 10 companies to boycott during February:

- Paramount+
- Uber
- X

Why this ICE boycott wants consumers to resist Amazon and Google
Could consumers give up Netflix and YouTube for a month? That's what a strike protesting Trump’s immigration enforcement is asking people to do.
