Home Depots open support of La Raza, from their own career webpage.
Well, I'll be shopping at Lowe's.
We just got a Home Depot. I had never been in one before, and walked out after about 3 minutes, all their signs are in spanish and english. They lost my business forever, well, they never had it.
One less reason to shop there. I've always thought Lowe's was better anyway.
more (more or less)

Topic: Education
Aztlan Academy is a public charter high school designed for the young people it serves - teens living in poor economic and social conditions in South Tucson and its vicinity. The successful education of these young people depends on Aztlan's ability to integrate a meaningful Chicano Studies program into their lives, language, and academics, as a means of developing their intellects as well as their pride and self-esteem. Aztlan Academy opened in the fall of 2001 and currently serves 45 students in 9th and 10th grades who come from its feeder school, Cesar Chavez Middle School. Aztlan's programs are aligned with Arizona state graduation standards and promote postsecondary educational endeavors. 
Good luck. Lowe's also supports La Raza, as well as the League of United Latin American Citizens and the NAACP.

As does Sears.

It is getting to the point that if we boycott stores because of who they support we won't be shopping anywhere. Seems as if every store supports someone or something that we disagree with.
Shop at Ace Hardware. Most of them are franchised-owned.
Wrong. The free market will produce someone who's willing to fill that niche while the other stores go out of business.
Home Desperate & Slows both generally suck if you want to get **quality** materials
Maybe so, but to support a company that is in partnership with an organization who's goal is the elimination of all non-hispanics and the takeover of the United States Of America is self defeating don't you think? Wonder how high the cry would go if they supported the KKK?
Agreed, I have started to shop at Ace Hardware.
Ace's prices are generally the same or lower than either Home Depot's or Lowe's and you don't have to walk a 40 freakin' acre store to find what you need. Besides which, Ace has employees who know what the hell they're talking about - and in English, too!

And in the meantime we can just starve waiting for the free market to produce a company that we agree with.
I knew Home Depot was no damn good after 9/11. Every single store, house, car, etc. was flying the American flag, all around the NYC metro area. But not Home Depot. They are obviously only in it for the money.
But, beauty part, we are getting a Lowe's right across from Home Depot. I will make sure we spend our money at the Lowe's as soon as it opens.
BYE BYE home depot.
