Home Depot responds to Thanksgiving boycott [View all]

Home Depot has responded to boycott calls, after We Ain’t Buying It, a self-described “economic action and solidarity campaign” called for a boycott of the home improvement chain for what it described as “allowing and colluding with ICE to kidnap our neighbors on their properties.”

In an email shared with Newsweek, a Home Depot spokesperson said, “We aren’t coordinating with ICE or Border Patrol.”

Why It Matters

Boycotts are a form of protest that involves putting financial pressure on individuals or organizations and have contributed to progressive social change throughout history.

Since the onset of the second Trump administration, calls for boycotts of numerous big name American companies have become common online, as activist groups have called for promoting corporate accountability, restoring diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, and reshaping corporate influence over U.S. economic policies.
