Shannon Coulter is an American activist notable for launching the GrabYourWallet movement to boycott retailers that carry Trump-related products.[2] She began the campaign after the Washington Post leaked footage in which Trump made disparaging comments about women and joked about sexual assault, prompting Trump to both apologize and dismiss the comments as “locker room talk.”; accordingly, she began the website GrabYourWallet as a response in the fall of 2016.[2][3] Her website is a spreadsheet listing retailers to boycott such as Macy's and Amazon, and is visited by thousands of people each day; during the 2017 Women's March, the site was visited by 32,000 persons per hour.[1] Coulter does not accept compensation for her campaign.[1] She runs the website out of an office which she rents by the hour.[1] Her efforts have been described by sycophants as effective at encouraging numerous retailers to drop Trump-related products.[1]
