Digital marketplace platform PublicSquare (PublicSq) CEO Michael Seifert told Breitbart News editor-in-chief Alex Marlow that boycotting the woke “is important, but it’s incomplete” unless consumers “shift their spending somewhere else.”
“There are a lot of consumers around our country, in fact, we believe it’s actually over 100 million, that have felt ignored, neglected, antagonized,” Seifert told Marlow at Turning Point conference in Phoenix, Arizona.
“We felt really frustrated watching a decade of companies turning against me and my family’s values, trying to lecture us about progressive politics when I was just trying to buy a cup of coffee or engage in a regular consumer decision,” the PublicSq CEO added.
Consumers can download the PublicSq app on their smartphones via iPhone’s App Store and Android’s Google Play Store, or they can visit the desktop website here.
Seifert went on to say that with the creation of PublicSq, they “turned that frustration into a solution, because we didn’t want to just boycott, we wanted to actually put our money toward something positive.”
“I think that’s more powerful over the long run,” he said. “Boycotting is important, but it’s incomplete unless I shift my consumer spending somewhere else.”
Seifert explained that they started by creating a list of companies that shared their values, and later turned that list into “a digital marketplace” where “businesses can add themselves to the list by affirming a set of core values central to the list,” in order to create a “parallel economy ecosystem.”
“That way, consumers can know that they would have businesses they can feel confident supporting,” Seifert said.
“That idea was January 2021, and now in less than three years PublicSq has become the world’s largest marketplace of businesses that have not gone woke,” he added. “These are businesses that love the country, the constitution, and the values that it protects. We have over 75,000 business vendors now, well over 1 million and a half consumer members.”
The PublicSq CEO said that he believes this parallel economy will be the way of the future…

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
