Make Campaign Finance Clear and Fair
Dark money influences our campaigns. Corporations count as people for campaign donations. Our polititians are often beholden to interest PAC and their donors and not the people who elect them.
Objectives
Fair Campaign Finance
Target
Amazon
Amazon has unparalleled consumer leverage — Prime memberships, Amazon.com shopping, Whole Foods, Kindle, Alexa devices. Consumers can cancel Prime, shop elsewhere, and buy competing devices. The company's resumption of donations to anti-certification candidates despite a public pledge is a documented broken commitment.
Better alternatives
Ways to take a stand
I pledge to stop using amazon for one month
Pausing all Amazon purchases for 30 days directly reduces revenue and forces you to discover alternative retailers. Even a temporary halt demonstrates that consumer habits can change.
I pledge to delete the amazon shopping app from my phone
Removing the app creates friction that reduces impulse purchases and cuts Amazon's mobile engagement metrics. It's a low-cost, reversible action that signals disengagement.
I pledge to switch my online shopping to an alternative retailer
Redirecting everyday purchases to competitors like Target, Walmart, eBay, Etsy, or local retailers directly shifts revenue away from Amazon. Identifying a preferred alternative and making it your default shopping destination creates a lasting habit change.
I pledge to cancel my amazon prime membership
Prime membership fees are a significant recurring revenue stream for Amazon, and cancellation also reduces the incentive to default to Amazon for everyday purchases. This is one of the most direct ways to cut your financial relationship with the company.
I pledge to cancel my amazon music, audible, or kindle unlimited subscription
Amazon's media subscriptions generate recurring revenue and lock consumers into its ecosystem; cancelling in favor of Spotify, Libby, or other alternatives withdraws both money and engagement data. Switching to a competitor also strengthens rival platforms.
I pledge to cancel amazon web services or move my business off aws
AWS is Amazon's largest profit center; businesses and developers who migrate workloads to Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, or other providers create substantial financial impact. This is a high-effort, high-impact action for those with professional or entrepreneurial ties to AWS.
Target
Uber
Uber is maximally substitutable — Lyft is a direct competitor for rides, DoorDash and Grubhub compete for delivery. Any consumer can switch apps in seconds. Uber's political spending to protect its own regulatory interests at the expense of democratic accountability is a concrete, ongoing harm.
Better alternatives
Ways to take a stand
I pledge to delete the uber app from my phone
Removing the app creates a visible signal of disengagement and eliminates the convenience that keeps riders returning. Even a temporary deletion reduces Uber's active user metrics.
I pledge to delete the uber eats app from my phone
Uber Eats is a major and fast-growing revenue stream for Uber; deleting it cuts into food delivery gross bookings that now rival ride-hailing in importance to the company.
I pledge to switch to a competing food delivery app for all orders
Using DoorDash, Grubhub, or ordering directly from restaurants instead of Uber Eats withdraws spending from one of Uber's highest-growth business segments.
I pledge to switch to a competing ride-hailing app for all rides
Replacing Uber with Lyft, Via, or a local taxi app for every trip directly reduces Uber's gross bookings and market share in your city.
I pledge to cancel my uber one membership
Uber One is a paid subscription (~$9.99/month) bundling ride and delivery discounts; cancelling it directly removes recurring subscription revenue and reduces your incentive to use Uber services.
I pledge to commit to using only public transit, cycling, or walking instead of uber for 30 days
A sustained month-long abstention from Uber ride-hailing represents a significant financial impact per user and, if adopted broadly, signals durable demand destruction rather than a temporary dip.
Target
Chevron
Chevron and Texaco gas stations are consumer-facing and easily substituted. The $500,000 donation to a Trump super PAC is a recent, specific, documented act that gives a boycott campaign a concrete narrative anchor. Consumers can choose competing gas stations with minimal inconvenience.
Better alternatives
Ways to take a stand
I pledge to delete the chevron app from my phone
Removing the Chevron app reduces engagement with their loyalty ecosystem and limits data collection on your fuel purchasing habits.
I pledge to cancel my chevron techron advantage credit card
Closing a co-branded Chevron credit card directly reduces the financial relationship and cuts off a recurring revenue stream tied to your spending.
I pledge to switch my home heating oil or propane supplier away from chevron-affiliated providers
Chevron operates in home energy supply through affiliates; switching to an independent or renewable supplier withdraws recurring residential revenue.
I pledge to stop purchasing chevron-branded lubricants and motor oils
Chevron sells consumer lubricants (Havoline, Delo) at auto retailers; switching to a competitor brand at your next oil change or purchase removes direct product revenue.
I pledge to switch my regular gas station to a non-chevron brand
Choosing a competitor station (e.g., Shell, BP, or an independent) for all fill-ups directly removes Chevron from your consumer spending and signals market preference.
I pledge to divest any chevron stock or mutual funds with significant chevron holdings from my personal portfolio
Selling Chevron equity or moving to ESG-screened funds that exclude Chevron reduces investor demand for the stock and aligns your financial footprint with your values.
Target
Meta (Facebook)
Hundreds of millions of Americans use Facebook and Instagram daily, making this one of the highest-leverage consumer boycott targets. Users can delete accounts or reduce engagement, and advertisers can pull spend. The betrayal narrative is strong: Meta profits directly from the opaque political ad ecosystem it refuses to regulate.
Better alternatives
Ways to take a stand
I pledge to delete the facebook app from my phone
Removing the app reduces your passive usage and the mobile ad revenue Meta generates from your activity. It also limits the device-level data Meta collects via the app.
I pledge to pause using facebook and instagram for 30 days
Meta earns nearly all of its revenue from advertising, which depends on user attention and engagement. Reducing your time on platform directly lowers the ad impressions Meta can sell.
I pledge to cancel my meta quest subscription or stop purchasing quest content
Meta's hardware and VR ecosystem represents a growing revenue segment. Cancelling subscriptions or stopping purchases of apps and games on the Quest platform withdraws direct spending.
I pledge to delete the instagram app from my phone
Instagram is one of Meta's highest-revenue products due to its ad-heavy feed and Stories format. Deleting the app cuts off a significant stream of engagement data and ad exposure.
I pledge to switch my primary messaging to a non-meta app
WhatsApp and Messenger are central to Meta's ecosystem strategy and data collection. Moving to an alternative like Signal removes you from Meta's messaging data network and weakens its cross-platform user lock-in.
I pledge to permanently delete my facebook and instagram accounts
Full account deletion removes you entirely from Meta's addressable advertising audience and user base metrics, which directly affects how Meta reports its active user numbers to advertisers and investors.
