Action: stop supporting businesses with a relationship with the NRA

[tanaqui]

Think Progress has compiled a list of businesses that offer incentives, such as discounts, to members of the National Rifle Association (NRA).

Think Progress is asking the organisations about their relationships with the NRA. It will be updating the post with new responses, and you can sign up for updates by email at https://thinkprogress.org/email/nra-updates/

So far, at least one organisation, First National Bank of Omaha, has ended its association.

the bank tweeted that after massive customer feedback, it had decided not to renew its contract with the NRA to issue the [“official credit card of the NRA].

If you use any of these companies, you might want to contact them asking them to end the association and saying you'll stop using them if they continue their relationship with the NRA. The very end of the article provides examples of companies that no longer work with the NRA following earlier campaigns.

Someone else ended their contract/assocation too.. a car rental company I want to say?

ETA: ACTUALLY HOLY SHIT. Check this out.

That's great! When I last looked about 16 hours ago, it was only the bank and three car rental brands that are owned by the same parent company.

Nice to see the NRA is finally being recognised as the toxic brand it is.

Wow, great to see so many companies coming to their senses.

I'm actually shocked that any insurance company supported the NRA in the first place, since gun violence can cause insurance payouts to skyrocket.
