Your Hue

peecharrific:

I saw this and thought maybe, if you’re interested, here are some ways to help and examples of how to let a company know you are boycotting them.

Here are a few of Trump Affiliated businesses. I love NBC. I love Thursday night comedies. I even really liked Celebrity Apprentice but I can not and will not support anything that supports this racist asshole. Your mileage may vary but if you’re interested, here’s a short list as well as addresses and phone numbers for NBC executive.

If you’re interested in boycotting these businesses, you can call them but you’ll most likely be immediately directed to voicemail. You can leave a short voicemail (no profanity) that says something like

“Hello Mr. _______, I purchase your products/watch programs on NBC regularly and am a very big fan of your products/programming. I feel compelled to tell you my enjoyment of your products/programs is diminished by your support of Donald Trump and his actions as of late. Please do the right thing and remove your advertisements from The Apprentice time slot/his program from your lineup. Thank you.”

When emailing (especially large corporations), try keeping your emails and letters (yes, snail mail does mean a lot!) short and to the point. Something like:

Dear Sir or Ma’am:

I am writing to you to ask if you are aware you are advertising your products during the airing of The Apprentice on NBC. As you are no doubt aware, Donald Trump’s actions against our President, Barack Obama, and The White House as of late are heinous and offensive.

I, along with millions of other Americans, am looking at your company to see what you will do regarding placing your advertisements on The Apprentice.

I will not purchase your products again until your ads stop running during Donald Trump’s Apprentice airings.

Regards,
Your Name Here

You can also tweet these companies directly and raise awareness through your twitter account.  Their names are:

@Macys, @EnterpriseCares, @Clorox, @Sprint, @SprintUpdates, @SprintCare, @SprintNews, @WaltDisneyWorld, @DisneyPixar, @Disney, @DisneyParks, @GrouponQueens, @GrouponSF, @Groupon, @GrouponABQ, @GrouponLA @GrouponSanDiego, @GrouponBNA, @GrouponSanJose, @GrouponAustin, @GrouponNYC, @GrouponBoston, @GrouponPhilly, @GrouponToronto, @GrouponOmaha, @GrouponDallas, @GrouponMiami, @GrouponDC, @GrouponPhoenix, @GrouponPortland, @GrouponSeattle, @GrouponVegas, @GrouponDenver, @DrPepperSnapple, @7UP, @AustralianGold, @CampingWorld, @OmahaSteaks, @OmahaSteaksHelp, @AcnNews, @FaroukInc, and the others either don’t have twitter pages or they aren’t listed in a way I can find them on the search.

Make sure when you tweet about these companies or tweet them directly, you don’t use profanity. You may be angry, but these companies aren’t Donald Trump, they’re advertisers who can help take The Apprentice off the air (and more cash out of Donald Trump’s pocket).

It does work (the StopBeck movement is proof). It takes time, but if enough people tweet, email, and call these companies to tell them their products are being boycotted, they will stop advertising.

Niger’s government has appealed for help to deal with some 59,000 Africans who have fled Libya since February.

The International Organization of Migration told the BBC many of them arrive penniless and in a bad condition after gruelling desert trips.

The IOM’s Abibatou Wane said the influx from Libya was expected to continue.

Many sub-Saharan Africans have worked for years in Libya in low-paid jobs in the oil, agriculture and construction sectors or as domestic servants.

The Libyan uprising against Col Muammar Gaddafi’s rule has developed into an armed conflict pitting rebels against government forces and drawing in a Nato-led coalition with a UN mandate to protect civilians.

The UN believes at least 335,000 people have fled Libya since the beginning of the conflict, including at least 200,000 foreign nationals.
