Someone very wise (hi @TomSullivan) said, "Make it a simple ask to start. Ladder of engagement.Then ramp up."
Yes, start small and simple. Yes, this is growing ("ramping up").
Doomers not welcome.
Media eyes are opening.
"Consumers are boycotting major retailers. Here's what they plan for 'blackout' on Feb. 28"
@Danetteb @TomSullivan It was me, silly:
✔️ “Americans are changing their shopping habits and even dumping their favorite stores in a backlash against corporations that have shifted their public policies to align with the #Trump admin.. 4 out of 10 Americans have shifted their spending over the last few months to align with their moral views, according to the Harris poll” https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/feb/18/shoppers-political-boycotts-spending-patterns-poll?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
I am very excited about not purchasing a thing on February 28.
This is good. There are many more of us sympathetic to corporate responsibility and ethical treatment of everybody. This is how we pick up those who make stupid excuses (Gaza) for voting 3rd party or not voting at all.
@GottaLaff @TomSullivan My 9 yr old granddaughter was here today. The 10 yr neighbour was also here. The 10 yr old mentioned the boycott! The 9 yr lamented that they wouldn’t be shopping at Target for the foreseeable future. I explained DEI and what the company’s were doing. They totally got it. One child was African American- literally cause dad is from Nigeria. The other child is so blond we called her and her brother the Nordic kids.
It was a good day for three of us Americans.
