We’re literally living a scene from the Hunger Games and let me be the first to admit that I will definitely not be volunteering myself as tribute like Katniss Everdeen. Donald Trump aka President Snow has only been the leader of the free world for less than two weeks and he has proven that he is truly a horrible human being. Between removing the civil rights page from the whitehouse.gov website and demanding that Mexico help pay for a wall, it just all seems surreal. Recently, Trump signed an executive order that will temporarily bar citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States. People have been scrambling trying to find ways to fight the power and of course the fashion team at EGL had to help.
While you can volunteer and donate to organizations like the American Civil Liberties Union Nationwide, you can also avoid shopping at the retailers listed below because of their association with the Trump family. Some businesses have decided to avoid selling Trump’s menswear, like Macy’s, but they still have partnerships with Ivanka Trump. Ivanka got the juice and all but her father is pure evil so she’s guilty by association.

These are just a few of the retailers but there is a running list going with the #GrabYourWallet movement. The movement even provides you with a sample statement to email these huge corporations.
“Hi. I’m a customer / fan of your brand. Unfortunately I’ll no longer be able to shop there because you do business with the Trump family. If you were to no longer do so I would consider returning as a customer. Please communicate my feedback to store management.”
We know that this list is full of some of your favorite places to shop. Lawd knows we love Marshall’s and TJ Maxx as bargainistas but there is a bigger fight going on right now. As a human being, you have to contribute in some way to RESIST.
Will you boycott these retailers?
