I was sent this by a friend who saw it trending around various social media which I don’t use.
Personally, I think it would do good to lengthen the economic blackouts to 3-7 days. But, any coordination helps, and I think the weeklong corporate boycotts will at least send a message.
I’m looking for other places to share this. I checked BuildTheResistance, but I couldn’t figure out a way to submit dates for a protest without a link to a site. I have a link for the February 28th blackout, and I would be grateful to anyone that could help me in sourcing these other protests.
EDIT: found the sources! They’re all by The People’s Union USA. It’s just that all the boycotts besides the 28th are tucked away in their FAQs page.
I should say, as well: I think general boycotts are a good idea, and I support the idea of protesting on these dates. However, I don’t necessarily trust The People’s Union USA. They have a login feature. Don’t be so foolish as to make an account on a fucking resistance website.
Why not start the boycott of all of those now? Why wait and allow them to prepare for it?
I don’t really get why it would have a time limit either. Just don’t buy from these companies, ever. It’s not even hard to do. A minor inconvenience at most.
they probably won’t even notice people bought before and after those days in their monthly report. you gotta do it multiple months at least.
A coordinated effort is more noticeable and impactful. It takes a little time to get information out and organize. You can start anytime but you’ll have a stronger message if you show you can network and demonstrate results
