On May 25, 2018, student activists and survivors of the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, including David Hogg, planned a boycott of Publix, which would have included "die-in" protests at several Publix supermarkets, because of the $670,000 that the company made to Adam Putnam, a Republican candidate for Florida governor and self-described "proud NRA sell-out" who opposed new state gun restrictions created in response to the school shooting.
