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.

Thanks for the information.
Sadly i thi k you are right. Years ago consumers really put a hurting on j c Penney and Ford motor Corp for tryingmto,insert the gay agenda into their adds. Folks all across the nation boycotted the Teo companies, and darn near broke j.c Penney who never fully recovered for their mistake. Ford also succumbed to pressure later, but sadly many co panties today know that not enough people will boycott their company, so now they force the gay agenda in their commercials on the public because they know that the indoctrination and brai washing of students is coming to fruition and those kids will support any woke company and easily replace those who boycott the company
A smart company would want ALL groups to,support them for maximum profits, and thus would leave political correctness out of their advertising, but nowadays minority groups seem to have perfected their victimolgy routines and they essential,y are blackmailing companies who won’t cater to their whiny demands.
Like everything on the Internet, let the buyer beware. The 1792 database shows Banner Bank as low risk.
Two years ago, I sent them an e-mail re a statement on their website that read “At Banner, we remain committed to doing our part to accelerate the change our nation so desperately needs.” Kelly McPhee, VP of communications responded to me saying “The Small Business Opportunity Fund was created to help accelerate racial equities”.
Just my opinion, but this does not sound low risk to me.
It would be more fitting and a shorter list to list the business that do not promote Leftism. I do not know of any that is competitive with the likes of Comcast, Amazon, Walmart, Intel, AMD. etc.
