24-Hour Economic Blackout

Join this nationwide protest against corporate retailers who have pulled back on their commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Rather than staying true to their previously expressed values, they are doing the bidding of this authoritarian regime. 

From 12:00 AM to 11:59 PM on Friday, Feb 28, No Amazon, No Walmart, No Best Buy. No fast food, no gas, no major retailers, no credit or debit card use. Okay to buy essentials (food, medicine, emergency supplies) if absolutely necessary. If you must spend, only use cash to support our small, local businesses. 

Disrupting the economy for even one day will send a powerful message -- and we'll be building our muscle for the kind of massive, nonviolent, civil disobedience that topples oppressive governments.
