I’m not a fan of reality TV, never was and never will be. I find it embarrassing that we now have a reality TV star as president. I don’t believe people should be making money off of a reality TV show while they’re President of the US, its a huge conflict of interest. But that is happening right now. As executive producer of the show, he will be making five figures for each episode.

So what to do about it? Boycott!

Boycotts are a tool for holding a company’s accountable for actions.  Boycotts directly threaten sales so company boss’ take them more seriously than letter writing campaigns or lobbying.

When you boycott, its not about just not buying something. To be effective, boycotts need to be visible and vocal. You have to let the world know that you’re taking a stand and boycotting.  We are using Twitter as a playground to call out NBC and the 12 corporate sponsors of Celebrity Apprentice. We’re telling them daily that we will not buy their products and not watch their TV show.

Our goal is to boycott, name and call out the sponsors and their products until they drop Celebrity Apprentice.

Stop the flow of money from Celebrity Apprentice to this guyThese 12 brands that will be featured on the upcoming season of the show: Tyra Beauty, Trident, Welch’s, King’s Hawaiian, See’s Candies, Lorissa’s Kitchen, Universal Studios Hollywood, the L.A. Clippers, QVC, The Honest Company and Carnival Corporation.

You can call them, or tweet at them. Let these companies know that as long as the President has an Executive Producer role in the show you won’t be buying their products or watching the show. And you’ll be encouraging all of your friends to do the same.

Meanwhile Adweek reports : NBCUniversal said that interest in Celebrity Apprentice is as strong as ever, and buyers don’t expect any Trump-related blowback from audiences or advertisers this season as a result of Trump’s frequently controversial behavior during and after the presidential election.
