Support Local. Strengthen Democracy.

​

This holiday season, we’re choosing to vote with our dollars. Instead of supporting large chain retailers participating in nationwide blackouts, Defend Democracy ICT is uplifting the local businesses, makers, and markets that pour back into our community every single day.

​

Our curated list highlights Wichita-area businesses that embody the values we fight for: community care, civic engagement, fair treatment of workers, and support for marginalized communities. Many are women-owned, LGBTQ+-owned, minority-owned, or grassroots community staples committed to building a stronger, more inclusive Kansas.

​

Shopping local isn’t just an economic choice—it’s a statement of who and what we value.

​

Have a business you love that should be included? Contact us to add them to the list!
