At Buy Woke Free, we’re all about peeling back the layers to reveal what’s really behind the brands you use every day. Our unique Wokeness Rating is designed to cut through the noise and help you understand just how much a brand aligns with woke ideologies.
We keep it simple and straightforward so you can quickly see where a brand stands and decide if they’re aligned with your values.
What goes into the wokeness rating?
First, we comb through the internet looking at publicly available information like articles, videos, press releases, and company websites to get the real story behind each brand’s public facade. These direct insights ensure our ratings aren’t just guesswork.
We think you deserve the freedom to know the truth and to decide for yourself. That’s why we share our sources on each brand profile. This way, you can look through the evidence for yourself and trust that we aren’t just making things up.

i. Do they make public statements about woke causes?
