  4. Reminder, boycott in effect for those who celebrate. Support your local community based businesses and establishments as much as possible if you must spend. Remember the goal is to make them know that without us 99%, the 1% go broke. www.weaintbuyingit.com #economicblackout #nokings

  9. How to Turn an “#EconomicBlackout” Into an All-Out War on #CorporatePower

    Friday’s economic boycott is a one-day attack on corporate interests. The #degrowth movement calls for a broader societal shift.

    Jonah Valdez, February 28 2025

    Excerpt: "Rooted in the work of American and European political theorists of the 1970s, the 'degrowth' movement criticizes a #capitalist system that seeks unending growth and profit, which has led to #ecological and #environmental ruin such as the impacts of #ClimateChange.

    "Instead, it advocates for a system that prioritizes the needs of the #planet and its people, such as #housing, #education, and #healthcare. According to Jason Hickel, a leading advocate of degrowth and author of 'Less is More: How Degrowth Will Save the World,' the movement calls for reducing consumption and production of things that harm the planet such #FossilFuels, #SUVs, #PrivateJets, #mansions, #FastFashion, #IndustrialBeef, #CruiseShips, and the #MilitaryIndustrialComplex.

    "While the term may be unfamiliar to many Americans, its core ideas have cropped up in the Green New Deal’s goals of a post-fossil fuel economy; the pandemic-era phenomenon of white-collar workers voluntarily quitting their jobs and working less; and the recent social media trend of '#NoBuy,' which encouraged people to purchase less and #repurpose more.

    "'People are getting a sense that they’re ripped off, that they’re being taken advantage of and exploited as consumers,' said Aaron Vansintjan, co-author of 'The Future Is Degrowth: A Guide to a World Beyond Capitalism.' 'It is promising that people are responding to the current moment by showing their distrust of these corporations.'

    "The boycott has drawn wide–ranging media coverage, along with the attention of some celebrities. It also caught the attention of #LindaSarsour, a progressive activist best known for organizing the 2017 #WomensMarch after #Trump’s first election.

    "'It is an easy risk-free way to invite masses of people to act in reaction to the outrageousness of this Administration,' Sarsour told The Intercept in an email."

    💯

    I'm all for the #TakedownTesla and #EconomicBlackout movements and others. It's the only way to get any of the attention of the oligarchs, it helps destroy their personal brands and builds class consciousness.

  15. With the Amazon boycott starting today, I'd like to take a moment to encourage everyone reading this to reconsider buying their stuff brand new from now on. We need to get over the idea that something touched another human being and therefore can't be owned and used by another. There is so much waste in this country and planet that it's almost unfathomable.

    From Gaslighted States of America™ on TT & Bluesky:

    #AmazonGone - March 7th to 14th... and... longer? February 28th was the 'gateway boycott.' Get ready to show #Amazon your full power.

  17. The answer is "maybe a little"? Initial indications are that Amazon sales did not decrease, but that traffic to some sites/apps was down and that foot traffic was down compared to this time last year. Actual sales totals may be a while or never) in coming. So probably best to see last Friday's #EconomicBlackout as preparation. And the article includes specifics about other current and upcoming targeted boycotts, including a #TargetBoycott through April 20 (40 days coinciding with Lent) and a weeklong boycott of #Amazon March 7-14.
