Activists On The Left Seek To Harness Spending As Part Of Their Anti-Trump Resistance
Boycotts are a powerful and familiar form of protest and now it seems "procotts" — when shoppers seek out products that help support their political beliefs — among anti-Trumpers are on the rise.
President Donald Trump may not have the most Twitter followers on the platform but he is probably the most powerful person in the world who is tweeting on a regular basis. (Look no further than the recent "covfefe" incident and the raging wildfire of memes it incited.)
And it is precisely the president's compulsion to tweet-vent/tweet-rage that Allyson Kapin is counting on as the best vehicle to keep Democrats and progressives engaged in the national anti-Trump movement — especially novice activists.
Kapin is the brains behind WeCanResist.It, a new app launched in late May that funds social justice organizations "whose issues are being targeted by Trump."
