People planning month-long nationwide boycott of Home Depot, other chains. Here's why

By Katherine Rodriguez | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com

Home Depot, Amazon and Starbucks are all targets of a boycott movement happening this July.

The People’s Union USA, a group that aims to promote “economic resistance,” according to its website, is looking to boycott these three companies this month due to the companies’ alleged scaling back of diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives since President Donald Trump got elected for a second term.

John Schwarz, People’s Union USA Founder, said in a TikTok video that he is organizing this particular boycott to bring companies “to their knees” to hear the demands of the people.

“We are boycotting Amazon and every company tied to it from Zappos to Whole Foods to Twitch to Audible, all of it. We are boycotting Starbucks, we are boycotting Home Depot, and we are holding this entire corrupt system accountable,” Schwarz said. “This July we make these corporations suffer.”
