At DoneGood, we’re here to help you shop your values, and we’re proud to be home to some of the most passionate shoppers and advocates around. So it’s no surprise that we’ve got passionate political advocates who are looking to boycott companies that support Trump.

Whatever your political beliefs, we believe that ethical shopping is for you! I personally have friends all over the political spectrum who are joining the movement to do good with their dollars.

But if “doing good” for you means making conscientious purchases that also send a political message, we’ve got you covered with alternatives to some of the conventional brands that support Trump.

Even better, the alternative brands we recommend are putting their profits to good use by supporting causes that actually matter. And they are leading the way in providing quality products that are good for people and the planet—values that aren't prioritized by their conventional counterparts. So who are these amazing brands?

Instead of Estée Lauder try…

Beauty by Earth

Estée Lauder’s pricey products are made using questionable ingredients from dubious sources, and their founder donated $100,000 to the Trump Victory Committee. We think it’s time to find a luxury beauty line that spends its profits a little better.

Enter Beauty by Earth! They have a passion for providing beauty products with natural, high-performing, and safe ingredients. Their high quality products for your face, body, lips, and hair protect you, your family, your community, and the planet. All their products are organic, vegan, and made in the USA, and give back to promote a better planet. What’s not to love?

Brand Values: Eco-friendly, gives back, USDA organic, toxin-free, vegan, made in USA, Leaping Bunny-certified cruelty-free

Also try: Pour le Monde Parums for natural fragrances.

Instead of Hobby Lobby, try…

Uncommon Goods

If you really want to do a deep dive into Hobby Lobby alternatives, you’re in luck! I actually wrote another post about that here. 

Hobby Lobby’s CEO formally endorsed Trump in 2016, and we also have good reason to believe that their products are made using unfair and unethical labor practices.

Uncommon Goods does things differently. Uncommon Goods is a collective of independent makers that sources fun, original, problem-solving, eco-friendly products for your craft, hobby, home goods, and gift-giving needs.

As far as how they treat their employees, they pay double the US minimum wage and provide paid family leave. They also donate $1 for every purchase to preselected charities—and you get to choose which one your purchase will support!

Brand Values: Empowers workers, eco-friendly, gives back, made in USA, vegan, uses recycled/upcycled materials, certified B Corp

Instead of New Balance, try... 

Cotopaxi

If you like New Balance’s athletic gear, but want to avoid its questionable sourcing, as well as a chairman that donated $400,000 to the Trump Campaign, check out Cotopaxi!

Cotopaxi’s motto is simply “Do Good,” and they do! They do good for their customers by offering affordable, high quality outdoor gear and apparel that’s made to last. They do good for the planet by making products with eco-friendly practices and using upcycled materials. And they do good for people by empowering their workers and donating 1% of their profits toward addressing poverty and supporting community development. 

Brand Values: Empowers workers, eco-friendly, gives back, certified B Corp

Also try: Toad & Co for ethically-made sneakers
