Hobby Lobby
Hobby Lobby sells arts and crafts supplies, home décor, fabric, and seasonal merchandise, employing tens of thousands of workers nationwide.
Why this is a target
The money trail is complex. The Hobby Lobby owners give money to their foundation, The Servant Foundation. The Servant Foundation gave 18M (2022) and 16M (2023) according to ProPublica's Nonprofit Explorer to the Alliance Defending Freedom. ADF is the legal organization currently pushing courts to apply the 19th-century Comstock Act to restrict mifepristone, the medication used in most U.S. abortions. (Ms. Magazine, May 2026) The Green family's 2024 tax filings, published on ProPublica's Nonprofit Explorer, show the Servant Foundation also gave $300,000 to Them Before Us — a group running a national legal campaign to overturn *Obergefell v. Hodges*, the 2015 Supreme Court ruling that established marriage equality. Hobby Lobby's customer base is also 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.

Pledges you can make
Telling your network why you make this choice matters.
Public reviews influence foot traffic and brand perception. A surge of critical reviews signals consumer dissatisfaction to both the company and prospective shoppers.
I will invite my friends along ! "I’ve been using Michaels, or local shops and Etsy, and they’ve been great” gives people something to do and makes it feel less like a lecture."
Redirecting spending to competitors like JOANN, Michaels, or local craft stores directly reduces Hobby Lobby's retail revenue and market share.
Contact Hobby Lobby
Letting Hobby Lobby know their policies directly impact their sales can have an impact on their policy.
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.

Protect contraception access
Walgreens
Walgreens is one of the largest pharmacy chains in the United States, operating thousands of retail pharmacy locations nationwide.
Why this is a target
Walgreens made a specific, documented decision in March 2023 to refuse dispensing mifepristone (a FDA-approved medication abortion drug) in 20 Republican-led states where it operates, even in states where mifepristone remained legally available. Walgreens is set to start filling prescriptions in select stores in New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, California, and Illinois, while CVS will fill prescriptions in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. The pharmacies may expand the availability of the pill but for now, Walgreens has stated that they will not provide prescriptions in states where the laws on distribution are unclear.

Pledges you can make
Removing the app reduces Walgreens' digital engagement metrics and cuts off a key channel for targeted promotions and data collection. It takes less than a minute and signals disengagement from their ecosystem.
Opting out of the myWalgreens loyalty program directly reduces the company's ability to track purchasing behavior and denies them valuable consumer data they monetize. It also removes a key incentive keeping you as a repeat customer.
Pharmacy is one of Walgreens' core revenue drivers, and transferring even one prescription to a competitor like CVS, Costco Pharmacy, or an independent pharmacy hits them where it counts. Most insurers allow free prescription transfers with no penalty.
Walgreens relies heavily on front-of-store retail sales for household goods, cosmetics, and over-the-counter products. Redirecting these purchases to a pharmacy-free retailer or independent drugstore reduces their front-end revenue.
Showing up at a local Walgreens location as part of an organized action creates visible, in-person economic pressure and can deter other shoppers, amplifying the campaign's impact beyond individual spending decisions.
Permanently moving your prescriptions away from Walgreens is one of the highest-impact individual actions, as pharmacy fills generate recurring, high-margin revenue. Independent pharmacies and mail-order services like Mark Cuban's Cost Plus Drugs are widely available alternatives.

Protect Reproductive Data
Meta (Facebook/Instagram)
Meta operates Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, the largest social media platforms in the United States with billions of users. These platforms are primary vectors for the spread of health misinformation.
Why this is a target
Facebook and Instagram are widely used consumer platforms with clear substitutes (Mastodon, Bluesky, Snapchat, TikTok). The Nebraska case created concrete public awareness of the danger. The harm is direct and documented. Consumers can delete accounts or reduce engagement, and advertisers follow user attrition. Strong boycott leverage.

Pledges you can make
Reducing your time on Meta platforms directly lowers ad impression inventory, which is the core unit Meta sells to advertisers. Even short-term usage drops, if widespread, are reflected in engagement metrics that affect ad pricing.
Deleting the apps reduces mobile ad impressions, cuts off Meta's mobile data collection on your device, and forces any continued use to a less convenient browser — reducing overall engagement and ad revenue tied to your account.
Meta's revenue depends almost entirely on targeted advertising fueled by user data. Blocking trackers and ads starves the data pipeline and reduces the ad revenue Meta can collect from your activity.
Meta Verified is a paid subscription tier on Facebook and Instagram. Cancelling removes direct subscription revenue from Meta and signals that consumers reject paying for features that platform access previously included.
Moving your regular posting, messaging, and browsing to alternatives like Mastodon, Bluesky, Pixelfed, or BeReal permanently redirects your attention and ad-impression value away from Meta to competing platforms.
Full account deletion is the strongest consumer signal available — it removes your data, your ad profile, and your network value from Meta's platform entirely, and cannot be reversed without starting over.
