DEI Boycott
Join the DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) boycott on big business for 24 hours on Friday, February 28!
Anyone can participate safely and peacefully at home. But all our efforts combined can potentially have a big impact, especially if this first round makes a big splash and folks are able to organize future rounds that are more extended and targeted. It seems to be based on Rev. Al Sharpton’s ideas, though it’s unclear where this specific plan originated. I invite you to try it and we’ll see what happens!

Here’s more information:
When:
Friday February 28th from 12:00 AM to 11:59 PM
Do not spend money on:
• Fast Food
• Gas
• Major Retailers
If Necessary:
• Buy essential items such as Food, Medicine, Emergency Supplies
• If you must spend, ONLY support small, local businesses.
Spread the Message!
• Talk about it.
• Post about it.
• Document your actions that day!
Why This Matters:
• Corporations and banks have been backing out of their commitments to DEI since Trump’s election, but they still care about their bottom line.
• If we disrupt the economy for just ONE day, it sends a powerful message.
• If they don’t listen we can make the next blackout longer.
We are powerful!
And we must use the power we do have!
We can send an economic message with our numbers as the Civil Rights leaders did in the 60’s. |
