“#Conservative group slams Nike, Coke over \u2018woke politics\u2019<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

A conservative group has launched a massive $1 million advertising campaign to \u201cname and shame\u201d companies and executives for putting \u201cwoke politics over consumer interests.\u201d<\/p>\n

Consumers\u2019 Research, a right-leaning consumer protection group, said the initial launch of its campaign will target Nike, Coca-Cola and American Airlines.<\/p>\n

The video ads will run nationally across cable TV and websites as well as in the local markets where the companies are headquartered. Nike is based in Beaverton, Oregon; Coca-Cola is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia\u2019 and American Airlines is based in Fort Worth, Texas.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmerican Airlines shrunk legroom for passengers and laid off thousands of employees during the COVID pandemic while receiving billions in taxpayer bailouts. Coca-Cola and Nike have both been exploiting foreign, potentially forced, labor in China while American workers suffer,\u201d Will Hild, executive director of Consumers\u2019 Research, said in a statement. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt is time these corporate giants were called to task,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are giving consumers a voice. These companies should be putting their energy and focus on serving their customers, not woke politicians.\u201d<\/p>\n

Each ad is 30 seconds long, and calls out the CEOs of each company by name. The ad targeting American Airlines takes aim at chief executive Doug Parker\u2019s nearly $11 million compensation in 2020, which was down slightly from 2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It also notes the billions of dollars the company received from the US government to keep the company afloat during the pandemic while travel<\/a> was largely halted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
