The February 28 Economic Blackout — from a friend of the Skidaway Dems
If you have already heard about the Economic Blackout on Friday, February 28, and you have not yet added it to your calendar or reminders, please do so that you remember to participate.
If this is the first you are learning of it, then please read the following details, and plan to participate.
The action is a 1-day protest against the political coup happening in the USA and of the horrendous new world order being ushered in by several oligarchs (plus a number of dictators).
The point is to demonstrate how collectively we hold much more power than they do. (There are about 2,800 billionaires on our planet, which is home to 8 billion people. Americans comprise 340 million.)
WHEN:
Friday February 28th from 12:00 AM to 11:59 PM
ACTIONS:
—Do not shop online
—Do not buy anything on Amazon
—Do not buy anything on Facebook Marketplace
—Do not buy anything at Walmart
—Boycott Best Buy
—Boycott Target
—Boycott all major retailers
—Boycott big chain restaurants
—Boycott all fast-food chains
—Boycott gas stations
Purchase essentials prior to Feb 28 from anywhere other than those listed above!
NOTE: If you already have a local small-business appointment that day (massage, haircut, any class or lesson), USE CASH.
If you want to or must shop, support your local small businesses, restaurants, or cafes—and USE CASH. They'll appreciate not having to pay the credit card charges!
Remember to withdraw your cash before Friday Feb 28.
Use credit card only in cases of true urgency where cash might not be possible: medical care, emergency supplies, medicine, survival.
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 won’t), we make the next blackout longer (we will).
Forward/post this message. Plan ahead and spread the word! Talk about it, post about it, and document your actions that day! ... See MoreSee Less
