Never heard of this before. I like it, should be a weekly thing.

That would be something. Just every week we perform less and less economic activity to build up to something. Man a protest where we start at 1 day and build up to the whole week would be actually impressive.

Still likely have limited scope for who could actually participate but definitely be a bit more flushed out. Give time to build up steam and momentum and get a planned reaction.

I've been seeing maga dipshits saying that they will be buying more today and will enjoy the short lines, just out of spite. So if we all start saying we like shit they do, will they stop. Like reverse scycolgy? Could they really be that dumb?......please!

I get this, but as a small business owner who is already struggling, I worry about this and the other upcoming days.

I think the complete blackout is misguided. If we want to make a real difference, stop shopping at Amazon, Walmart, Target, Whole Foods etc. and replace them with locally owned businesses. I am not going to not get lunch from the mom and pop vietnamese restaurant down the street as a way to stick it to the oligarchs. It makes no fucking sense.

If you make handmade items or refurbish things or do services there is a good chance people will not boycott you. This is more about corporations. If your a retailer I would ask that you participate although may be a bit late. Close for sales, don't put in any orders, and instead say you will be open for people to hang, discuss, play games, whatever.

Ok I know about the other ones but what's the bad stuff target did? Besides the general capitalistic crap.

They pulled their pride month merchandise and cut DEI programs after pressure from conservative groups. So if they're gonna choose them over us then we have to actually make it a choice and punish them, otherwise they'll just cave to conservatives every time since the liberals will just buy stuff any way.
