I was sent this by a friend who saw it trending around various social media which I don’t use.

Personally, I think it would do good to lengthen the economic blackouts to 3-7 days. But, any coordination helps, and I think the weeklong corporate boycotts will at least send a message.

I’m looking for other places to share this. I checked BuildTheResistance, but I couldn’t figure out a way to submit dates for a protest without a link to a site. I have a link for the February 28th blackout, and I would be grateful to anyone that could help me in sourcing these other protests.

EDIT: found the sources! They’re all by The People’s Union USA. It’s just that all the boycotts besides the 28th are tucked away in their FAQs page.

I should say, as well: I think general boycotts are a good idea, and I support the idea of protesting on these dates. However, I don’t necessarily trust The People’s Union USA. They have a login feature. Don’t be so foolish as to make an account on a fucking resistance website.

    A week isn’t going to do anything to their bottom line if people just stick up beforehand or wait until it’s over to buy what they would have bought anyway. It’s like the one day gas protests during the Bush Jr years.
