A consumer policy group launched Tuesday a seven-figure ad campaign chastising three major U.S. companies — American Airlines, Coca-Cola and Nike — for their “woke politics” and urging them to focus on customers instead. The Consumers First Initiative, launched by Consumers’ Research, released three 30-second ads to air nationally on cable and local markets in Texas, Georgia and Oregon, the states where the companies are headquartered. Coca-Cola and Nike have both been exploiting foreign, potentially forced, labor in China while American workers suffer,” Mr. Hild said. “American requires passengers to show ID to fly, but attacks Texas’ popular voter-ID law,” says the ad slated to air in Texas. Founded in 1929, Consumers’ Research began as a product-testing lab that challenged deceptive corporate claims and advertising, and now concentrates on consumer education.
