So my boycott isn't going to make a difference. Still good to know.

BTW, Sears is already circling the drain. It sold off its Craftsman tools label recently.

Add to that any major publicly traded corporation. Every single one of the aforementioned corporations are pro Trump, so please don't limit your outrage.

Marriage equality, for instance. Long before there was any public consensus or much political support for it, some of the largest US corporations extended benefits to same-sex partners. Later, even more came out in support of full same-sex marriage equality. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/03/05/marriage-equality-amicus_n_6808260.html

600 corporations, businesses and organization signed on to the 2014 push for immigration reform (stillborn in that do-nothing congress).

Women's rights are less universally supported, perhaps because they worry about suits from past (and current) practices, but there are some good actors and a lot of forward-looking effort. A few of the best: http://www.behindthebrands.org/en-us/issues/women and http://www.diversitywoman.com/best-100-companies-for-womens-leadership-development/

Won't be going there anytime soon. Sears is sketchyfor me. I grew up with my parents shopping at Sears, having kenmore appliances. But I will totally boycott now.
