The second boycott of Amazon and its affiliates begins today and continues until May 12th. This is the latest consumer boycott as he protests against what is called corporate greed, diversity, equity, inclusive efforts, and companies that have curtailed Donald Trump’s efforts since resigning to office.
The Amazon boycott is organized by People’s Union, the same grassroots group that adjusted the blackouts for the economy on February 28th and adjusted the blackouts for the three-day blackouts in April.
The boycott includes Amazon and its affiliates, including Whole Foods Market, Amazon Fresh, Amazon Prime Video, Audible, Twitch, Ring, Zappos, Kindle, and more.

It’s the latest on these boycotts.
