Discover How Your Purchases Shape Politics: The Power of Goods Unite Us

Every dollar you spend speaks louder than you think. Did you know the average consumer indirectly contributes three times more to political campaigns through everyday purchases than through direct donations? Corporations earn profits from the items we buy, and some of those profits fund politicians and causes. Whether or not those align with your values, they shape our political landscape.

But you have the power to make informed decisions—and Goods Unite Us is here to help.

Goods Unite Us is a non-partisan platform that empowers consumers to align their purchases with their political values. By researching companies’ political donations, the app sheds light on how your spending influences politics.

Here’s what the platform offers:

1. Search for Brands and See Their Politics: Discover the political contributions of your favorite brands.

2. Make Your Voice Heard: Use tools to contact brands and share your concerns about their political expenditures.

3. Vote with Your Wallet: Support companies that align with your values.

4. Invest with Integrity: Ensure your investments and retirement funds aren’t supporting causes you oppose.

   
   

How Do Local Businesses Measure Up?

Whether you’re shopping for groceries, sipping coffee, or running errands, you can use the app to see how your spending aligns with your beliefs.

Here are a few popular businesses in our area to explore:

• Walmart: As one of the largest retailers, Walmart’s political donations are worth investigating.

• Target: This Minnesota-rooted favorite—are its political contributions aligned with your values?

• Cub Foods: A staple in our community, Cub’s political affiliations might surprise you.

• Starbucks: Your coffee run could be funding causes you care about—or don’t.

If you discover a company doesn’t align with your values, consider reaching out to let them know—your voice matters.

Why It Matters

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that corporations have a constitutional right to political speech. Goods Unite Us allows you to hear what corporations are saying and ensure they hear you, too.

When you align your spending with your values, you’re not just shaping your community—you’re shaping the future. With enough consumers making informed choices, companies will feel the pressure to prioritize accountability and transparency.
