My Efforts to Resist and Unsubscribe
To support freedom from authoritarian regimes like the one we currently have in office, I have joined the resist and unsubscribe movement and have taking the following actions below:
- Canceled my Amazon Prime Subscription
- Stop shopping at Amazon. Switch my electronics shopping for myself and my customers to B & H Photo
- Canceled my Microsoft Account as it was a conduit for data collection
- Canceled my ETSY account (Not necessarily Resist and Unsubscribe related, but of the same reasoning. ETSY is abusing there email marketing system to email customers of purchases without consent and no recourse to opt-out)
- Canceled my AirBNB account for the same reason.
- Closing my shop May 1st and May 2nd on Mayday. Sign the Pledge.
I will refuse to do business with
- Anyone that I know who collaborates with republican’s (currently under Trump presidency) efforts to undermine american democracy by supporting the actions of the administration to (but not limited to) conduct illegal wars, steal money from the american people, or involved in weakening laws, checks and balances that harms our country. This includes supporting mass deportations of american citizens (regardless of race, gender or religion).
- Anyone who supports efforts of mass surveillance in this country by promoting or supporting the Flock Safety camera system or any individuals involved in supporting these activities.
- Anyone that supports or encourages relationships with, or is involved with any individual that has relationships with Palantir who are also involved in providing tools to institutions that encourage authoritarian efforts.
If you are involved in any of the above activities, your actions have consequences. By your actions, or inactions, you will be held accountable.
