For those who feel compelled by all of this also but don’t know how to act, remember things like attending protests, sharing posts, and calling your representatives are a great start. Be sure to share posts that are not opinion based, rather informative with reliable sources in order to spread more correct information instead of false. Another very effective way to be heard is to boycott brands or companies that knowingly support oppression, displacement, and genocide. Here are some known brands to boycott that have made an impact in the last few weeks -
Starbucks, Mcdonalds, Burger King, Pepsi, Mars, Nestle, Coca Cola, KFC, TGI Fidays, Krispy Kreme, Pizza Hut, L’Oreal, Estee Lauder, Chanel, American Eagle, Victoria’s Secret, Kylie Jenner cosmetics, Johnson and Johnson, Disney Plus, Puma, and many more. These companies either openly stated they support Israel or aid Israel in funds, jobs, and other resources.
