Someone mentioned a Spending Blackout. Here is a post for getting the word out
Every strike, boycott and protest starts with a handful of voices before it catches fire. Right now, corporations are counting on this fizzling out before it even begins. They rely on your exhaustion, doubt, and assumption that “it won’t matter.” It’s how they win.
This blackout doesn’t require millions overnight. It just needs momentum. Let me explain why this matters so much. Corporations only care about profit. Even a small disruption is noticed.
Movements die when people assume “someone else” is organizing. That “someone else” is you.
Awareness spreads exponentially. One post, one conversation, one text can turn into thousands. That’s why I don’t stop. Post about it. Share this with a short, direct message. Text friends. Let them know why you’re doing this. Avoid online shopping and big chains on Feb 28. Buy only local. Hell, do it every month or every day. It’s time for us to change something to get the change we want. This is one thing you have some control over.
The biggest killer of movements is apathy. If you care about this, don’t let it fade out.
