For-profit businesses are for profit. It's kind of the whole point. Any and all behavior is an attempt to increase capital and decrease costs. What individuals can do is come together to decrease their profits namely through boycotting. If the drop in profits is great enough they will head in the new directions of increasing profits aka what the people want.

That's it, I'm boycotting Lockheed Martin.

You definitely can, at least any services and products that are public facing unless for some reason you work in government procurement and or logistics somewhere where you can deny them contracts.

It’s an investment - donate $1M, save $5M in tax. For them, it’s a no brainer business decision.
Massive companies exist to make money for themselves, and any virtue signalling they do on the side is solely done as advertising. Give your money to small businesses that deserve it and to the companies that employ people in your local community, not to places that will turf humans on their ass as quickly as technology allows it.

Me: Trump has projects?
Oh, those.

Isn't listing only the number of projects-donated-to pretty much useless; when the amount donated to 1, could be more than everything-else by everyone-else combined?

"Trump Presidential Library" - about to contain a handful of coloring books. But gold-plated ones, of course. With golf motives.

If you are into investing, you can effectively avoid big tech by not buying any US large cap.
