Protest - Step One

An interesting idea. T

The 24 hour Economic Blackout

As our first act, we turn purchasing off. For one day we show them who really holds the power.

WHEN: Friday February 28th

TIME: 12:00 MIDNIGHT, for 24 hours

WHAT TO DO:

Do*not*make any purchases.

Do*not*shop online, or in-store.

No Amazon, no Walmart, no Best Buy

Nowhere!

Do*not*spend money on:

Fast Food

Gas

Major Retailers

Do not use Credit or Debit Cards

IF YOU NEED TO:

Only buy things that are absolutely necessary (e.g., medicine) If you/must/spend, ONLY support small, local businesses.

SPREAD THE WORD!

Talk about it, post about it, and document your actions that day!

WHY THIS MATTERS:

Corporations and banks only care about their bottom line.  If we disrupt the economy for just ONE day, it sends a powerful message.  If they don't listen (they probably won’t), we make the next blackout longer.

This is our first action.  This is how we make history. February 28th: The 24-hour economic black out begins.
