Rogue for the Right Reasons: The Companies Taking a Stand Against Trump

Prominent and successful businesses like Amazon, Coca-Cola, Apple, JPMorgan Chase, Uber, Airbnb, Etsy, Facebook and dozens more are strongly and proudly supporting their consumers while condemning the President’s arbitrary policies on immigration, transgender rights and climate. All the companies taking a stand against Donald Trump are putting people before profits and have been offering a helping hand to those in need. 

A coalition is always the perfect opportunity for Trump to rant express his opinion and fired up on his favorite social media platform, Twitter, multiple messages attacking every single soul that publicly criticizes him. The companies and CEOs, as a protective measure, haven’t been wasting time and are always one step ahead of the game sharing statements to support the community. Find below a list of companies taking a stand against the Trump administration:

The company pledged to hire refugees in 75 countries, and support DACA.

“Let me begin with the news that is immediately in front of us: we have all been witness to the confusion, surprise, and opposition to the Executive Order that President Trump issued on Friday, effectively banning people from several predominantly Muslim countries from entering the United States, including refugees fleeing wars,” wrote Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz in a blog post. “In the face of recent events around the world, let me assure you that we will stay true to our values and do everything we can possibly do to support and invest in every partner’s well-being while taking the actions that are squarely within our ability to control. This is our focus: providing a Third Place of respite for those around the world who seek it, daily.”
