Michael Polhamus believes the public needs to know about PublicSquare, an online marketplace created by MAGA supporters featuring businesses that are against diversity, equity and inclusion, and environmental protection and abortion. The site has 30 Santa Cruz County businesses signed up. Polhamus thinks the public is not aware of what PublicSquare is, that it calls itself the “anti-woke Amazon” or that local businesses are part of it. He suggests consumers get more information about where their money is going locally, what it is supporting and the choices they have in the marketplace.
