This college student sort of got the ball rolling in my feed:
Which led to promo of this app that tracks brands and their political donations (it kind of annoyingly doesn't take sides but oh well, we stan Vote With Me for standing up for something):
Goods Unite Us - Open Politics by Goods Unite Us Inc.

Some celebs have jumped in:
So what brands do you know are supporting bigots?
EDIT: Let me add this post since it's fair to note employee culture here

Just as a point of order, keep in mind that these contributions are aggregated from the FEC data, which reports donors' occupations and employers. As OpenSecrets says:
The organizations themselves did not donate, rather the money came from the organizations' PACs, their individual members or employees or owners, and those individuals' immediate families.
That's how you get, for example, "Chick-Fil-A" donating $3,518 to Trump, $3,134 to Sanders, and $2 to Nanette Barragan. In fact, if you dig in to the data, all but $10k of "Chick-FIl-A's" 2016 donations were from individuals. And if I'm reading the FEC report on the "Georgians First Fund" correctly, that $10k appears to be a PAC for Dan Cathy that didn't actually distribute any of it's money to candidates.
