Objectives

Support Women's Reproductive Health

Target

Hobby Lobby

Hobby Lobby's customer base is disproportionately women, who make up the majority of craft and home décor shoppers — the same demographic most directly harmed by the company's restrictive employee health coverage policies. Because Hobby Lobby is a consumer-facing retail brand dependent on foot traffic and brand goodwill, sustained public pressure and purchasing boycotts can materially affect revenue and brand reputation. The company's high-profile Supreme Court victory has made it a recognized symbol in debates over employer-controlled reproductive health access, giving a campaign clear public resonance. Consumers can redirect spending to competitors such as Michaels, Jo-Ann Stores (or its successor operations), or Amazon for similar products, creating direct financial leverage.

Better alternatives

Michaels (large craft chain with employee health benefit expansions; widely accessible) AC Moore (regional craft chain; no documented anti-reproductive-rights positions) Etsy (B Corp certified; vocal support for LGBTQ+ and women's rights; marketplace for independent makers) Blick Art Materials (employee-owned roots; art-focused; no documented reproductive-rights opposition) Local independent craft and fabric stores (keep dollars in community; no corporate political spending) Local quilt guilds and fabric co-ops (community-owned, values-driven, often women-led) Online indie fabric shops (e.g., Spoonflower — prints on demand, artist-owned designs, no documented anti-reproductive-rights history)

Ways to take a stand

easy 1 pledged

I pledge to i will leave a one-star review of my local hobby lobby on google maps

Public reviews influence foot traffic and brand perception. A surge of critical reviews signals consumer dissatisfaction to both the company and prospective shoppers.

easy 1 pledged

I pledge to i will delete the hobby lobby app from my phone

Removing the app reduces engagement metrics, ad impressions, and loyalty program participation that Hobby Lobby uses to drive repeat purchases.

easy 1 pledged

I pledge to i will stop using my hobby lobby loyalty or rewards account

Disengaging from their loyalty program reduces the data Hobby Lobby collects on consumer behavior and weakens the retention incentives they rely on.

medium 2 pledged

I pledge to i will buy my craft and hobby supplies from a competing retailer instead of hobby lobby

Redirecting spending to competitors like JOANN, Michaels, or local craft stores directly reduces Hobby Lobby's retail revenue and market share.

medium 1 pledged

I pledge to email hobby lobby

Contact Hobby Lobby
Letting Hobby Lobby know their policies directly impact their sales can have an impact on their policy.

hard 1 pledged

I pledge to i will permanently stop shopping at hobby lobby for all craft, home decor, and seasonal purchases

Hobby Lobby's revenue is almost entirely driven by in-store retail sales of craft supplies, seasonal decor, and framing services. A committed, permanent boycott across all categories is the highest-impact individual action available.
