WHO THE HELL IS ULINE?


If you’ve received a box in the mail recently, you’ve likely touched ULINE. As North America's largest distributor of shipping, packaging and industrial supplies, ULINE is an omnipresent supplier in today’s shipping-fueled economy. ULINE was founded in 1980 by Elizabeth and Richard Uihlein—heirs to the Schlitz beer company fortune. ULINE has grown to offer close to 40,000 products and has more than 7,000 employees—seems like a true midwestern success story, right?


OK, SO WHY SHOULD I “REFUSE ULINE?”


The Uihleins have used their wealth to funnel millions of dollars into the most extreme right-wing politicians and movements in the United States.

The Uihleins are ranked by the donation-tracking site OpenSecrets.org as the third largest donors in the United States to outside political spending organizations in 2024, having contributed a whopping $144 million to conservative groups in the 2024 election cycle.





ISN’T THAT THEIR PRIVATE BUSINESS?


Nope. It goes beyond private ideology and donations—in each ULINE catalog Liz Uihlein brings her conservative politics directly to her customer base with a “letter from the president” here she broadcasts her ultra-conservative views openly to millions of ULINE customers. Liz uses ULINE as her personal platform for spreading disinformation and hate.

SHOPPING ULINE IS SUPPORTING EXTREME RIGHT-WING POLITICS 


Despite their politics, millions of small businesses, non-profits and artists still use ULINE completely unaware of what their dollars are supporting. This needs to end now: REFUSE ULINE.


‘REFUSE ULINE’

Stick them on the boxes you ship for your business. Send a pack to your favorite small businesses to show them that their customers care. Slap them on return boxes to companies that still use ULINE. Stick them up around the shipping department at your job.

WHAT ALTERNATIVES ARE OUT THERE?


While we can’t vet the political affiliations of every company below, rest assured that none are funneling as much dark money into far-right extremism as ULINE.
