So many people in business live with the dollar in mind so they shy away from discussing politics and anything that is deemed political even when it isn't... like science being real, and racism existing as examples.
As a consumer my top priorities are:
Support businesses that support my values
Ecological responsibility
Support minority and woman owned business
Support small business
Best value per dollar
(not specifically in that order)
I believe in voting with your dollar.
I believe in standing up for what matters to you even if it means some may choose to not work with you.
I believe that Black Lives Matter.
I believe that Trans lives matter.
I believe that science is real.
I believe that LGBTQ rights are human rights.
I believe that women's bodies and women's choices are not to be governed by men.
I believe that people living in poverty deserve to be protected and fought for.
I believe that the current system of capitalism is broken and needs regulation no single human being should have trillion dollar "earning" potential.
And oh yeah, I believe that voting makes a difference.
I love knowing when my values are matched and love giving my money to companies that aren't afraid to let me know. I'll literally look companies up before buying from them and find one that aligns. Anybody else do this?
