A new database can help conservative consumers identify which companies actively work to promote leftist ideology and, in some cases, fire conservatives.
The 1792 Exchange, a nonprofit focused on the dangers of “woke capitalism” that urges companies to be neutral on ideological issues, last month released a database of over 1,000 companies.
The database assesses the risk that “a company will cancel a contract or client, or boycott, divest, or deny services based on views or beliefs,” the 1792 Exchange says.
At a time when the culture wars increasingly are being fought, not just in Washington and state capitols but in boardrooms across the country, it’s a welcome development to have a resource to help determine whether your dollars are supporting companies that are neutral or companies that are working against you and your beliefs.
Scanning the entries for companies, I was surprised at just how politically involved so many well-known corporations have become.
Sure, I expected tech companies such as Meta (parent company of Facebook and Instagram) and Alphabet (parent company of Google) to be liberal. And I knew that, as delicious as its ice cream might be, Ben & Jerry’s still hadn’t strayed from its leftist roots.
But I was surprised to see other companies, such as Kohl’s, Ford, Kroger, and Allstate, get slapped with the 1792 Exchange’s “high risk” label. From toy manufacturers to airlines, from drug stores to supermarkets, plenty of companies are busily fighting for leftist causes.
Here’s just a few examples of companies deemed “high risk” by 1792 Exchange:
1. Alaska Airlines. The airline fired two employees after they spoke out against the company’s support for the Equality Act—a bill that likely would require girls sports teams to let biological males play.

I hope this hurts the woke companies, but somehow I don’t think enough people are paying attention.
Which don’t is the right question.
Go to the database, sort by rankings Green to Red.
The lady who wrote this must have just discovered the internet or crawled out from under a rock.
This is excellent!
It’s time we fight back with our $$ not just our mouths.
The least we can do is let these companies know that we not support their work agenda. Not just by avoiding or boycotting these companies, but by notifying them that they’re anti-constitutional wokeism will result in their loss of revenue.
Get Woke Go Broke.
They should be very afraid.
Send this article to everyone you know.
Kroger also told their employees that they cannot call customers “sir” or “ma’am”.
Really?
And that’s why we can’t have nice things.
Instead of welcoming this reminder of the tactics of the culture war coming from the left, and using it as a call to action, some curmudgeon wastes our time and bandwidth pooping on the alert notification…..
It’s almost impossible to stay away from all of them. I simply have boycotted all those companies that I could possibly boycott. I simply shop at known local companies that either aren’t leftists or are Christians. But sadly, I do shop at other companies that are woke purely out of “I’ll use them the way they use me”. Right now, we boycott the obvious, but there are some that I simply have to use.
Hotels are almost impossible to avoid. Traveling for business, etc. If anyone has suggestions on that please let me know. BTW, smaller hotels and “Bed and Breakfast” are mostly leftists as well.
I scanned some of the red ones, and I believe there are those that are Super X modified woke, such as Target and a few others that often make the news. For those there should be a 4th category.
But what difference does it make? Using Target as an example, most consumers are unaware of what they promote or really don’t care and shop there anyway.
I noticed both Mastercard and Visa are on the red list. If a person uses a card all the time to avoid carrying large amounts of cash, then just what other card is there to use that is universally accepted?
Bringing our culture back to a sane level will take years, but first the rats need to be out of power, which will never happen until honest voting returns. And the GOP just does not have the guts to address that issue.
I certainly am.
I’ve had a personal boycott against Starbucks, Kohl’s and anything Disney for at least half a decade now.
Unfortunately, Commiecast has a monopoly in my area, but I’m about to light up a Service Representative, because they are escalating prices w/o improving their service.
BUMP
This author was unaware Ford is a big lefty company? Ford (the company) has been promoting the left for as long as I can remember.
Sadly - It would have been easier, and shorter, to compile a list of those who don’t.
You can filter those companies at the website, it was good to see some that I use on the “green light” (good) list like Costco.
pretty sure Harris Teeter is under the Kroger umbrella.

Now, that just hurts my feelings. If you think that what she wrote is a news flash, you’re too far behind the curve to ever catch up. Her article is along the lines of: grass is green and water is wet.
This is excellent! Thanks.
After spending 30-minutes viewing it, I’ve dropped about a dozen dumbass leftist companies.
And several companies that I’ve been suspicious of scored well — I’ll be using them more often now.
Hope the creators keep adding to their list.
