Amazon, Home Depot respond as Texas boycotts gain momentum
Story by Melanie Salazar • 22h

Retail giants Amazon and Home Depot are responding to a 31-day boycott of the companies, slated to begin today. The effort, led by the nonpartisan organization, People's Union USA, alleges that these companies are financially supporting the Trump administration, amid other grievances.
 
The call to action comes roughly a week after the group urged consumers to participate in a seven-day spending freeze at McDonald's due to the restaurant's alleged price gouging, tax dodging and overall lack of "corporate accountability." At the time, the fast food corporation said it was "disappointed to see these misleading claims" and that it was "ready to serve" customers.

With the month-long boycott of Amazon, Home Depot and Starbucks running through July 31, here's what to know about the claims, movement organizer and possible business disruptions.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

If I see the word "people's" in a group's name, I automatically think communist front group.
