Minute Maid
Fruit juice brand owned by The Coca-Cola Company
Reason: Parent Company Supports
Minute Maid is a subsidiary of The Coca-Cola Company, whose major U.S. affiliates include Coca-Cola Refreshments USA and Coca-Cola North America.
Evidence & Context
Parent company: The Coca-Cola Company
According to publicly available data, in the 2024 election cycle, these corporate affiliates donated:
$51,736 to the National Republican Senatorial Committee
$50,000 to Make America Great Again Inc. (a super-PAC aligned with Donald Trump)
$13,599 to Trump’s campaign (Donald Trump, Candidate R-PRES)
$12,000 to Richard W. Allen (Candidate R-GA12)
Additionally:
On April 14, 2020, the Coca-Cola Company joined the “Great American Economic Revival Industry Groups” under President Trump’s administration.
In January 2025, Coca-Cola CEO James Quincey presented President-elect Trump with the first-ever “Presidential Commemorative Inaugural Diet Coke” bottle—a gift publicly documented.
These connections — significant donations to pro-Trump / Republican entities, participation in Trump-administration economic revival initiatives, and a highly public gift to Trump — illustrate a strong alignment between Coca-Cola and Trump-affiliated politics.
For consumers who reject Trump’s policy agenda, nationalist rhetoric, and corporate favoritism, supporting this brand may indirectly support those political structures.
How to Boycott Minute Maid
If you invest through mutual funds, ETFs, or retirement accounts, check whether they include The Coca-Cola Company (KO) or its subsidiaries. Request that your fund manager reallocate to alternatives without exposure to Coca-Cola or other Trump-aligned corporations.

Choose independent or regional brands for bottled water and soft drinks instead of Dasani or other Coca-Cola products. This helps redirect consumer spending away from a corporation that contributes to Trump-affiliated political entities.

Opt for locally owned water and beverage companies, or refillable water solutions. Supporting smaller, transparent, and socially responsible brands reduces corporate influence over national politics.
From parent company: The Coca-Cola Company
If your workplace or organization uses Coca-Cola vending, catering, or product contracts, encourage a switch to neutral or independent suppliers. Consumer and institutional demand are key leverage points for accountability.
From parent company: The Coca-Cola Company
Do not purchase Coca-Cola shares or invest in ETFs or mutual funds that hold KO in their portfolios. Divesting helps reduce financial support for corporations engaged in politically partisan activities.
