It's hard to separate Donald Trump's business from his politics. As a result, some are calling for a boycott of the president-elect's business empire and other companies that sell Trump products. 

Shannon Coulter, a brand and digital strategist, started the #GrabYourWallet hashtag in October following the reveal of a leaked tape that showed Trump making lewd comments about women. Coulter used the hashtag to encourage people who were offended by Trump's language and actions to boycott companies doing business with his family.

Following Trump's election, she and other anti-Trump Twitter users have been circulating a spreadsheet listing retailers that are doing business with the Trump family. The spreadsheet includes information about how to contact each business. 

On Saturday, Shoes.com announced on Twitter that it was removing Ivanka Trump shoes from its inventory. While the Canadian company valued at $320 million isn't as big as competitors like Zappos (which continues to sell Trump lines), this was the first time a retailer responded to the Grab Your Wallet movement by actually dropping Trump products.

As of Tuesday, Grab Your Wallet's list of brands that carry Trump products included 32 brands, including Amazon and Bloomingdales.
