How We Choose Who Makes This List
These are the businesses that show up—not just for profit, but for people. They support public schools, create welcoming spaces, honor dignity, and avoid playing political games with basic rights. If a business gave to a local classroom, shared a voter guide, or treated staff and customers with compassion? They belong here.
