What could your minor act of resistance be today?
Set your default search engine to Ecosia, and divert some advertisement income away from Google, to Europe and plant some trees while you are at it!
It's a Europe based search engine company (I know, they still use American search indices...).

Be aware that everytime you say 'they' you are referring to a 'you' at 'the other side'.
Apparently 'you' have power. Start using it!
What are you doing **today** to make the world a better place?
I'll start: I will open a #protonmail account so I can move away from Google (one service at a time...).

'Albert Heijn Apartheidvrij' was yesterday protesting in front of the Ahold Delhaize headquarters (a Dutch supermarket) to call them to stop selling products from Israel. They are doing this to protest against Israel's apartheid state, ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people and occupation of Palestine.
For information and a list of what not to buy:

Yesterday the people of #turkiye have boycotted all shops for one day and urged people to close their shops in support for the protests. There also is a call to #boycott businesses that support the government. This is done in protest against the arrest of Istanbul mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, who is president Erdogan his main political rival.
The government of #turkey is clearly fearing the effects of it, since they have tried to counter the boycott.

"As long as Trump and his nasty, scary friends are in power, I don't want to have anything to do with America"
If you are thinking abour what you can do against the current situation in the #usa know that you are not alone. Here are some inspirational stories about what others are doing to put the power back in their hands.

In #sweden last week people have been boycotting big supermarkets in the country in protest against the rapidly increasing grocery prices. Some call to extend the action for 3 weeks to #boycott the biggest supermarket of the country: Ica.
Although the economic effect seems to be limited, at least it started a conversation about the prices: #consumeractivism is effective.

Here's a nice list if you are looking for alternatives for #bigtech products.
It is a project in development, read about the 'why' on:

Switching away from big tech not only makes you more technologically independent from these increasingly unreliable companies, it also breaks their monopolies and with that puts power back in your own hands.

Interesting website giving Fortune 100 companies a grade for how they are treating democratic values. Some surprise entries (for me at least), like Tesla getting a B, and Alphabet (Google) getting an F...
Remember that the dollars they spend on lobbying are the dollars you put in these companies. By informing yourself and being an #activistconsumer you can nudge the world in your direction.

Worldwide consumer actions against #SwastiCar are going well, with stock prices of the brand plummeting over 25% in the last month turning the #us president in a car salesman in a desperate act to try and increase sales.
However the message unfortunately still doesn't come across. In a recent interview #musk still says he thinks he is doing the right thing, so I guess it's still #workinprogress

In the Netherlands today has become the national 'transfer day' #overstapdag. In other words: people are taking time today to leave WhatsApp and move towards Signal due to their concerns in relation to #privacy and the ongoing influence that #bigtech is having on #politics in the #usa.
Will you make the change?

The hard part about being an #activistconsumer is that you need to stop comparing products mainly on price, but you need to start comparing based on impact. That means doing research before buying, a lot of work of you need to do that for every thing you buy.
Luckily you can start one product at a time: every weekend pick one product that you regularly buy and check if it nudges the world in the direction you want.
What product did you replace by another and why?

Angry at the #tariff threats of their southern neighbour, the #buycanadian movement is still going strong. Canadians sharing lists of Canadian alternatives to American products, and are cancelling trips to the #usa. Both already are showing some impact on US economy, #consumeractivism is effective.
I think there is a bigger opportunity here in general to start to #buylocal and support your local economy, also for non Canadians...

Consumer opinion matters, and consumer action even more: #swasticar stock has been plummeting the past few days, in part due to lower sales in key regions and consumer opinion about the brand.
Let's keep spreading our opinion then!

#croatia is en-masse boycotting retail chains and brands in order to combat the rising prices of the last few years. With effect: the government is freezing prices of 70 products and the #boycott is spreading to other countries as well.
Again an example that #consumeractivism does work. Inspired? How are you going to nudge the world in your direction?

Target web storefront: charges me sales tax on a "Target Plus" (i.e., 3rd-party selling through their platform) grocery order (groceries are tax-free where I live)
Me: Notices and complains via chat immediately after placing order
Target: [After making me wait like a half hour] We can't do anything until the order is invoiced
Me: Complains again via chat after order is delivered
Target: I've forwarded it to our tax team, maybe they'll get back to you eventually 🤷
Me: 😡
