Hey, I'm going to do this, and I hope you will too. Not because I think a one day pause will be a devastating blow, but because coordinated action takes practice, and if you don't do the small stuff, you will have a harder time gearing up for the big stuff. - ThreadSky

I already do not buy from Amazon and have stopped using Twitter/FB. I no longer use PayPal. Happy to get involved in anything further in support of folks across the pond.

Boycotts and Blackouts

I’m in as well. One day is an easy way to start.

I got a couple friends to commit to this as well.

Interested in this, but also in the line between small and large businesses.

I hear that. But I also think coordinated action can run aground litigating a relatively small grey area when there’s a lot of black and white to work with

I don't want to spend time arguing where the line SHOULD be. I trust activist leaders to put it somewhere, even if it's a bit arbitrary, then let us know.

It would be nice to boycott Amazon on M-T-W-Th of next week too, just to guarantee that more of their trucks sit idle on Friday. 🙂🙃😉

Make it more then one day.

Also, if doing the economic blackout feels too small to be worthwhile, doing it *and getting other people to do it too* will be larger.

For those asking for a longer term plan—I pulled this from folks in the replies
