Hello Resisters! Thanks for joining us again. You are going to LOVE this episode, even with my sloppy editing. Shannon Coulter is the co-founder of the Grab Your Wallet movement, which you've probably heard of. Grab Your Wallet is a boycott of all stores that sell Trumpie products and they have been making serious waves. Just this week Ivanka was finally dropped by Nordstrom, a victory that was a long time coming. Shannon and I dove right into a really great conversation about fashion, the history of boycotts, the importance of data, and some of our favorite ethical brands. It's a fun convo that we all deserve after a tough week.  Don't forget to read the Medium article at medium.com/@katcalvinla!   Shannon Coulter @ShannonCoulter GrabYourWallet.org   GREAT BRANDS YOU SHOULD TRY MM LaFleur Cuyana Nisolo   Kat Calvin @katcalvinla katcalvin.com
