This group was born out of the frustration many feel about the direction the world has taken since 20th Jan 2025. With increasing instability and unpredictability, we believe a boycott is an effective way to express discontent and push for change. This is a space for like-minded individuals to share goals, strategies, and tools for making an impact.

Our objective is to challenge and influence US policies and decision-making through economic pressure.

Our purpose is to stand up for democracy.

Spring has sprung - time for a fresh start and some spring cleaning! 🧹

As we're getting ready to clean, let's stop buying those US-owned brands. It's the perfect time to swap for brilliant UK, European alternatives – supporting local economies and sending a clear message.

Examples from the list: Ditch Fairy, Flash, Mr Muscle, Pledge and Lenor → Go for Finish UK, Cif, Mr Sheen and Persil

Let's keep the momentum going 💪 🇬🇧 🇪🇺

The problem is that Trump and his advisers have declared war on a crucial tool of war-fighting: diplomacy. In the first year of his second term, Trump has seriously damaged U.S. diplomatic capacity and sidelined what diplomatic tools remain. That will make it harder for the United States to manage every conflict it now faces, including the Iran War. It will also make it immeasurably more difficult to pick up the pieces when the fighting stops

"At more than $5 billion and counting, the costs of Operation Epic Fury—in only its first few days of operations—could cover Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits for more than 2 million Americans for a year. If this war continues at the same pace, Americans could see their government burn through tens of billions of dollars, funds that would amount to the cost of Medicaid for millions in the United States."
