- More than a year into Trump’s presidency, the movement to boycott retailers that do business with the president’s family is going strong.
- Retailers such as Nordstrom and Gilt dropped Ivanka Trump’s fashion line as the movement to boycott gained momentum last year.
- However, 27 companies — including Macy’s, Amazon, and TJ Maxx — still sell Trump-branded products.
The boycott-Trump movement is still going strong.
Shannon Coulter, a brand and digital strategist, started the #GrabYourWallet hashtag in October 2016 to encourage people seeking a way to take concrete action against Donald Trump to boycott companies — large and small — that do business with his family.
It seems the boycott is producing results. Last year, brands such as Nordstrom, Jet.com, and Gilt dropped Ivanka Trump’s fashion line.
Today, Grab Your Wallet’s list of brands to boycott includes 70 retailers, nonprofits, and even a movie produced by Harvey Weinstein. However, we’re focusing in on companies that have ignored boycott threats for more than a year and continue to carry Trump products.
As of Thursday, the list of 27 retailers spans from huge names like Amazon and Macy’s, to smaller companies like Wegmans and Filene’s Basement. Here are the retailers being targeted by anti-Trump boycotters:

While the chain banned Donald Trump’s menswear line in 2015 after the president referred to Mexican immigrants as “rapists,” it still sells Ivanka Trump’s lines of clothing, jewelry, and handbags.
