Bank of America's lies start with their name...

They don't represent America. Under CEO Brian Moynihan, they're actively weaponizing their immense resources to attack American values and force families into compliance with their far-left, ESG agenda.

Today, Consumers' Research strikes back at companies that are serving woke politicians instead of their customers. Sign up for Woke Alerts at consumersresearch.org.

Conservative group rolls out ‘Woke Alerts’ to combat activist corporate America The conservative advocacy organization Consumers’ Research has launched a text notification system dubbed “Woke Alerts” to inform users when they believe a major company is engaging in liberal political activism.

Big big news! Thanks to the hard work of people like you around the country, Congress has voted to kill the Department of Labor pro-ESG Rule, forcing Biden into his first veto.

If and when Biden vetos the bipartisan legislation, it will kick off a knock-down-drag-out legal battle between Consumers' Research and the woke activists bent on using American retirement funds to push woke politics on American businesses.

Senate kills Biden ESG investment rule, teeing up a potential first veto The Senate formally killed a Biden administration rule that encourages private retirement plan fiduciaries to consider ESG factors when making investment decisions for over 150 million Americans.

ICYMI: Did you hear about the Washington Post's attack on "this group [that] is sharpening the GOP attack on ‘woke’ Wall Street?" It shouldn't come as a surprise to you, but that group is Consumers' Research.

Consumers' Research is an independent organization and not part of the GOP. Consumer protection isn't a partisan issue, after all. But after years of collusion between crony "woke capitalism" and progressive activism, it's great seeing Congress finally start taking action to push back against the ESG scam. When the Washington Post takes aim at you, you're definitely making a difference.

Consumers' Research is going to keep fighting. We're still in the early stages of this war. Your support is what makes this initiative so effective.

You can read the full piece here:

This group is sharpening the GOP attack on ‘woke’ Wall Street Consumers’ Research, bolstered by millions in donations and the GOP takeover of the House, targets Wall Street’s evaluation of climate risks.

This week publicly launched our new website. It's got everything you need to join our fight against ESG and the radical woke activists.

We've now got a dedicated whistleblower section called "Report Woke." If you know of a company that is serving woke politicians instead of their customers, you can send an anonymous report for us to investigate.

We've also got a page dedicated to the Consumers First initiative that has quick links to all our name-and-shame ads.

And for those looking to know how their home state is pushing back against ESG, our Fight Against ESG page has a state legislation and actions tracker.

So take some time and look through the new consumersresearch.org, and tell us what you think.
