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.

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.

Exactly. Imperfect action is still an action! The cumulative effect counts.
Stop making up excuses and obstructing people, who do something. Stop sabotaging actions. If you don't want to do anything, get out of the way. -
The #EconomicBlackout / #EconomicBoycott is making the news. Be ready for the next one.
It's the only way to make the #AmericanOligarchy listen

Hey, American resisters. Here’s a protest y’all can do. It’s safe and easy, and it will send a message with real impact.
Buy. Nothing. Today.

MEDIA: Hope you're covering the shit out of today's economic blackout!

Once again, a friendly reminder for those exercising the #EconomicBlackout today:
On this, the final day of #BlackHistoryMonth, please consider giving some of your surplus funds to Black #MutualAid crowdfunders to help them meet their critical survival needs.
-
It doesn't have to be #LaborOrganizing There are very exciting things happening with #TenantUnions and #debt unions. See https://tenantpowertoolkit.org or https://debtcollective.org/what-we-do/build-union for example.
But the point is that nobody had a one-on-one conversation with you about the #EconomicBlackout. You did not sit in a power-mapping meeting and collectively determine a one-day boycott is the most effective lever to gain power. You do not have a plan to turn up the heat. What skin of yours is in the game?

A one-day boycott alone may not harm corporate revenues, but it is an important message that we as caring and engaged citizens understand the power we have. -The Lotus Institute

Our money is our power, their power is our money. Let’s spend a day keeping our power in our own hands.

They'll wait until the previous and next days, raise prices, and see a 10% increase in revenue.
I don't think you remember how this worked before with fuel. (Reminder, it didn't).
