Amazon is a pressure target of the Apartheid Free Baltimore campaign. Amazon has become the primary way to shop for so many people that sometimes it can be difficult to figure out how to shop for things without it. Here are some ideas on how to start!

Learn more at apartheidfreebaltimore.org
Logos of Palestine Solidarity Working Group, Jewish Voice for Peace, Baltimore DSA, Apartheid Free Baltimore, and Palestinian Youth Movement across the top. Background is a keffiyah pattern. Text reads: How to boycott Amazon. Shop in person. Prioritize small, local businesses. Visit apartheidfreebaltimore.org for a list of Apartheid-Free businesses. If you can’t find an AFB option, still shop local rather than using Amazon! Amazon is an apartheid free baltimore pressure target. Pressure targets are generally more difficult to avoid than priority targets. AFB businesses must not promote these companies, must attempt to replace with alternatives where feasible, and are encouraged to divest to the best of their abilities. As consumers, we can do out part in boycotting pressure targets by limiting our reliance on them. Logos of Palestine Solidarity Working Group, Jewish Voice for Peace, Baltimore DSA, Apartheid Free Baltimore, and Palestinian Youth Movement across the top. Background is a keffiyah pattern. Text reads: When shopping online. Bookshop.org: Select your favorite local bookstore & the proceeds will support them. Try MadeInBaltimore.org. Many local businesses have online shops. Still can’t find what you need? Use ebay. Most ebay listings are Buy Now, meaning no auctions! Free! There are tons of free groups and swaps throughout the city. Try bmoreswap, bmore.share, or ask friends!
