A conservative consumer group has launched a system for users to receive 'Woke Alert' messages to warn them about large corporations supporting far-left initiatives.
The idea from Consumers Research comes after a backlash against Bud Light when they signed up trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney to promote the brand.
The Washington DC-based group, run by Executive Director Will Hild, launched the new idea on Friday.
It will allow shoppers to receive text updates on companies which Consumers Research feels have gone too far to the left in their marketing.
Anyone can sign up for the alerts by entering a phone number on the website, with Jack Daniels, Bud Light, Blackrock and Silicon Valley Bank all being subject to them.
The website states: 'Many corporations are putting progressive activists and their dangerous agendas ahead of customers. They'll only succeed if we look the other way.'
They targeted Bud Light following their Dylan Mulvaney campaign, which saw the transgender influencer receive cans with her face on – something which the company said was for PR only.
Jack Daniel's 2021 campaign with three drag queens from RuPaul's Drag Race have also been targeted for their 'Small Town, Big Pride' campaign.
In their description, Consumers Research also names Nike, but has not yet pushed an alert for the sportswear giant.
The Woke Alert launch is supported by a six-figure ad campaign to drive interested users, according to Axios.
Hild told the outlet: 'We are launching Woke Alerts to help consumers make better-informed decisions about where to spend their money.

Sounds like a good idea.
All it has to do these days is sense a door opening and then just sound off on the assumption the other side has woke garbage somewhere.
FAR-leftist is so extreme as to be unthinkable just five to ten years ago. We need an Early Warning System, to tell us which corporations are even THINKING about leftist lurches, not one to tell us which corporations are too far gone to be saved.
Conservatives and others have been sounding the alarm for seventy years or more (see Richard Nixon, Eugene McCarthy, Whitaker Chambers, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Yuri Alexandrovich Bezmenov, et al, but we constantly ignored it succumbing to Normalcy Bias that the good times will never end and America was too big to fail.
In 1984, former KGB agent Yuri Alexandrovich Bezmenov claimed that Russia had a long-term goal of ideologically subverting the U.S. He described the process as "a great brainwashing" that has four basic stages. The first stage, he said, is called "demoralization," which would take about 20 years to achieve.
I'd say we are way beyond the "demoralization" stage.
Why limit it to “far-left initiatives? The entire left should be considered the enemies of free people everywhere.

I don’t think so... JFK today would be far right of “center”...
...... and so the resistance begins
What large corporations aren’t pursuing far-left initiatives?
But JFK would have “evolved” over time.
