An “economic blackout” promoted on social media is underway but with no clear indication of how many people took part or whether retail companies and restaurants will notice any effect from the grassroots protest.
I am aware of how larger boycotts make bigger differences. Those larger boycotts started in smaller groups and spread because people got on board. How are you helping when you tell people it won’t work?
Because boycotting a single day does nothing, as stated. What made the Bud Light strike work was it wasn’t limited in that way. “Don’t buy Bud Light. Full stop.”
You want to hurt McDonald’s, Amazon, Walmart, Nestlé, what have you? It has to be continual and consistent.
For me I am already permanently boycotting all of these you mentioned. For others it is not that easy and takes TIME and EFFORT. Support or don’t but why be against good change even if it’s little bits at a time? Do you not want to see people try or join? This is the beginning point not the end.
