Urge UK Supermarkets to replace US goods with UK, Commonwealth & EU counterparts


Urge UK Supermarkets to replace US goods with UK, Commonwealth & EU counterparts
The Issue
Supermarket Leaders: Uphold British values, remove US goods
Our Goal:
To pressure UK supermarket bosses to remove US goods in favour of their UK, EU and Commonwealth counterparts.
Why?
- To withhold UK money from the USA while it is not in alignment with British values
- To stand in solidarity with Canada and other allies, creating a stronger UK economy without the USA
- To demonstrate that the UK rejects facism and bullying
How?
- Show supermarket bosses that we will spend our money with the supermarkets in line with British values
- Create competition between supermarkets for good PR centred around taking a stand against facism
- Damage profits of supermarkets that continue to support facism by stocking U.S. goods
Can it really be done?
Yes! This move is already being seriously considered by Co op, as leaders in ethical consumerism in the UK.
Ultimately:
Money is all they see. Let’s make them blind.

I am deeply affected as a UK citizen by the visible impact of US trade wars and tariffs which feels like an audacious show of bullying. It's not just a matter of politics or economics anymore; it lands within the confines of ordinary life, in places as common as our local supermarkets. The UK must rally in solidarity with Canada our Commonwealth counterparts and our EU allies, sending a strong message against such intimidation tactics. We must uphold British values against fascism and bullying by syncing our words with actions.
If we prioritise UK, Commonwealth and EU products, we would not only stand up against unjust tariffs but also strengthen our own and our allies’ economy, encourage sustainability, and further fortify our unity as a nation. Let us stand firm and let our supermarkets reflect our true resilient spirit, urging them to re-evaluate their stock listings. Together, we can make our mark, lending support to our own farmers, manufacturers, and allies. Please sign this petition and let our collective voice echo in the aisles of every British supermarket.
