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.
What if I already don’t buy from any of these? Lol
Sounds like you're already doing your part!
I guess the answer is suggest other people do so as well.
The nice thing about being anti-capitalist for essentially my entire life is that these boycotts are always easy for me. Hopefully I can show the way for others too.
Edit: for anyone here who has an Amazon prime sub, maybe consider canceling on the 7th. If there’s enough that could have a big impact too I think.
You probably do buy Nestle under different names, they own a lot of stuff
I don’t buy much packaged foods. I glanced at their list of brands but nothing caught my eye.
