Trader Joe’s Profits Off of Apartheid

from The Empire Report with Guy Christensen · host Guy Christensen

Behind the Hawaiian shirts and quirky labels is a company deeply complicit in genocide. Trader Joe’s sells products sourced from illegal settlements, profits off stolen land, and continues to do business with companies tied to the occupation of Palestine. When workers within Trader Joe’s organized for Palestine, they were harassed, silenced, and in some cases, fired. Every dollar you spend there helps normalize and fund a regime of displacement, colonization, and brutality. It’s time to boycott them and make it hurt.As always, you guys are the only sponsors I have.Please subscribe for free to receive my future messages — and consider upgrading to paid to support my work.Thanks for reading!
