Nope. Vast majority either aren’t aware or don’t care, and the ones choosing to participate just timeshift their purchases by 1 day. Thursday or Saturday.
You being negative instead of constructive shows how defeated you are. Rise up with us and do your part when/where you can. No one is going to give people who have to get medication or buy formula today a hard time. It’s not about the small impact this might make today it’s about people coming together to make change long term. Hope this helps!

It’s not a matter of positive or negative, it’s a matter of reality. Single day boycotts don’t work. Proven over and over again.

The boycotts that DO work are consistent and persistent. See the Bud Light boycott.
