I’m already on it.
Not buying anything I don’t need, now and for the foreseeable future.

Already doing this.

Economic Blackout Feb 28. Money is the only language these billionaires hear. Pass this on

YES!!!

3mcj.bsky.social•13 days ago

Why wait until Feb 28? We should be doing this now! Shop at stores that take care of their employees like Costco and other smaller stores. Do you really have to have same day delivery ?

reply

joaogallegos.bsky.social•15 days ago

Let’s keep this energy all the time!! I haven’t bought anything from the mentioned ones all year. 🙅‍♂️ Cancel your prime account today. We’ll be fine. The power is within us!! 💪

reply

jpierce95.bsky.social•15 days ago

Canceling Prime is such a good way to cut down on your impulse buying. Already seeing the personal benefit.

reply

3mcj.bsky.social•13 days ago

I just canceled mine and took the survey explaining why.
If they have more people cancel and state their reasons the results might reach management.

Why isn’t #Apple on the #boycott list?

Tim Cook was present with Fuckerberg et al at the inauguration.

reply

aminmd.bsky.social•15 days ago

I've been wondering the same thing. Listing reasons for boycotting each would be helpful. Is it giving $/support to FOTUS? Dumping DEI policies? Lobbying for pro-MAGA laws? Other?

reply

laughlin310.bsky.social•15 days ago

I began this boycott at the beginning of the year and plan to continue it indefinitely. Buy local.

Same. Except Costco and Aldi.

Thank you!!!

reply

katthecatsitter.bsky.social•15 days ago

I'm in the UK so AFAIK only Amazon applies from this, who I'm already avoiding.
I'll shop at COSTCO (not on the list) as they're not scrapping DEI. If you can, that could be a good one to support, as well as small businesses.

reply

crunchface.bsky.social•15 days ago

Interesting conundrum when many gas stations are also small businesses.

reply

katiewhittemore22.bsky.social•15 days ago

So then go to the mom and pop gas station and not Mobil. Or get your gas the day before.

This needs to grow strong legs, with sights on a general strike if smaller boycotts are ignored.

Being in rural VT, I have to rely on some services I can’t replace. But I have gone thread bare minimum on ALL purchases, and advocate buying small 💙 local as much as possible. And have even cut out nonessentials I can’t find easily that way.

reply

otgom.bsky.social•15 days ago

I continue to buy at Amazon but probably 10% of what I was buying last year. What I do now is buy only absolutely necessary items, mostly less than $15, and buy only one item every 3-4 days, so they lose money on every delivery.

reply

katiewhittemore22.bsky.social•15 days ago

I like it!

rebeteh.bsky.social•15 days ago

I agree and there is something just as effective. It is called a recall vote. ANY voted official can be recalled from the senator to animal control. Let’s look into the way to start recall votes in all states that follow the orange felon.

reply

rebeteh.bsky.social•15 days ago

I apologize for this post. Unfortunately you cannot legally recall a senator.

reply

willow420smokeweed.bsky.social•15 days ago

We really need to coordinate better. This is the 5th one of these ive seen all with different dates.

reply

katiewhittemore22.bsky.social•15 days ago

I completely agree. This messaging needs to be coming from ONE large activist or group. But the 2/5 protest was frown organically so hoping one blackout day sticks.

I also heard about a 3/15 strike which would just shutdown everything.

I guess we can do both!

reply

affinity4life.bsky.social•15 days ago

Why wait! Do it NOW.

reply

katiewhittemore22.bsky.social•15 days ago

We have a PERMANENT boycott list (listed above). This blackout is on 2/28 for EVERYTHING (food, gas, groceries, etc) except small businesses.

Good point. Here, we have a few ultra-MAGA small biz owners.

Exactly. They’re in every town USA and I just think it’s an opportunity to send his voters a message as well.

Fuckit, boycott all together. You don't need these companies. Get used to buying only what you need, because eventually you only be able to do that anyway

reply

kevinup25.bsky.social•15 days ago

Walmart is one of w grocery stores in town. Unfortunately sometimes I must go. I also boycott anything with the word DOLLAR in the title (Tree, etc).
Unfortunately I have to use WhatsApp (meta) to keep in contact with several people.
These have been self imposed. How do I sign an official boycott?

reply

katiewhittemore22.bsky.social•15 days ago

There are a lot of people that can’t cut out these companies 100% and that is totally understandable! But we can cut down our orders/visits/purchases - and let the company know WHY! Email the CEOs or comment on their social media. 💙💙💙💙

reply

official-chris.bsky.social•14 days ago

We've had 20 years to end these businesses.

Want to eff the marketplace? Cash out all your 401ks on 2/28 and see how big business reacts to a trillion dollar crash

Not shopping at Walmart on 2/28 sipping coffee you bought there 2/27 does nothing

reply

Going to suggest adding the 27th and making both days a 'sick out' for those who can. Not working and not shopping would be more impactful than a few thousand holding signs on capitol steps.
