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.
This exactly. Much easier to convince friends and family members to swallow a day, then a week, rather than push a “radical” view and meet resistance, and subsequently be brushed off as a crazy hippie.
Just like corporations slowly boiled the frogs, we have to take baby steps to get our loved ones and communities back.
