My carefully curated list of Non-Woke brands, businesses, and influencers has been updated! Sorry for the wait, but it was worth it. I've added some GREAT new finds. My own journey as a Christian romance writer is what inspired me to search for other creators who share my values. Many industries are hostile to anyone who doesn't totally embrace secular progressivism, which is why I've spent so much time putting this guide together. I believe that if we simply support one another, we can put cancel culture bullies in their proper place. As I created the guide, I set out to find high-quality goods that are 1) made in the USA and, 2) apolitical or inclusive towards conservatives and Christians in their branding. Nearly all of the shops listed below pass those tests, but a few products are manufactured overseas (for now). Nonetheless, you can rest assured that shopping from these people rather than Amazon will make a more positive impact, especially as more people make conscientious consumerism a lifestyle. Sometimes buying American means spending a little more, but this list offers a wide range of price points. When shopping local or USA-made isn't an option, look into a company's political leanings before you make a purchase and choose wisely! |

The Goods Unite Us app makes that incredibly easy. It also offers insights into streaming services, restaurants, and much more. For even more in-depth insights into various corporations, you can visit this site. We work hard for our money and, thankfully, we have choices on how to spend it, so please join me in making every purchase count. It truly does make a difference. Now more than ever, it's so important to make your voice heard among the loud, bullying voices of corporations and celebrity influencers, and this is one small, fun way to do it. If you're a little overwhelmed, just start with one category below and check out a few shops. Or, consider if there's an obvious swap you can make, like shopping for your books on Alibris instead of Amazon or trying a new, Christian-owned beauty brand. You could also use this as a gift guide and find the perfect gift for someone! The main principle to adopt as you shop: Support those who support your values, not those who actively work against them. For more helpful resources, subscribe to my blog and follow me on Instagram! Happy Shopping, Carmen Schober |

Gifts should always be thoughtful, and there's nothing more thoughtful than an amazing gift that aligns with someone's values. | | |
