The People’s Union is an economic resistance movement calling for a 24-hour “economic blackout” on February 28th, in response to corporate abuses of power and firings across institutions within the Federal government. We stand with them in the belief that the people ”not corporations” decide the direction of this country and encourage your participation in this NATIONAL BOYCOTT on February 28th. This will be an effort to show our collective impact on the economy and our resistance to repressive actions by power holders. See the details here taken from the People’s Union website:
WHAT: A 24-hour Economic Blackout: We turn it off. For one day, we show who really holds the power.
WHEN: All 24 hours of February 28th — from 12:00 A.M. to 12:00 AM.
WHAT NOT TO DO: –Do not make any purchases –Do not shop online, or in-store –No Amazon, No Walmart, No Best Buy, Nowhere! –Do not spend money on: Fast Food, Gas, Major Retailers –Do not use Credit or Debit Cards for non-essential spending
WHAT YOU CAN DO: –Only buy essentials of absolutely necessity(Food, Medicine, Emergency Supplies) If you must spend, ONLY support small, local businesses.
SPREAD THE MESSAGE –Talk about it, post about it, and document your actions that day!
WHY THIS MATTERS! –Corporations and banks only care about their bottom line. If we disrupt the economy for just ONE day, it sends a powerful message. If they don’t listen (they won’t) we make the next blackout longer (We will) |
