Just a bit on boycotts today. When I was 16, I lived in a house with a bunch of hippies that was a designated Cesar Chavez house. That meant that folks traveling the state of MI working for the movement could stay at our house for free. I think they got something like $25 a month for gas as they traveled around the state workers for farmers rights. I am not even going to say how many years I’ve been using boycotting as a means of peaceful protest!

I’m disabled and I live in the middle of nowhere. Boycotts are a real challenge for me but they’re literally one of the ways I can FIGHT LIKE HELL (with every last cent). Boycotts work. If I can do it, other people can too

A lot of our wins this year have been from boycotts. Complacency is the enemy. Our dollars are weapons. Withhold them from the soulless corporations that would sell us out without blinking. psychopete1.substack.com/p/psycho-pet...

We Ain’t Buying It Target Companies

This action is taking direct aim at Target, for caving to this administration’s biased attacks on DEI; Home Depot, for allowing and colluding with ICE to kidnap our neighbors on their properties; and Amazon, for funding this administration to secure their own corporate tax cuts.

Ok, so don’t shop at Home Depot unless... you’re buying an ice scraper.

Day laborer organizers in California are lining up at Home Depot to buy a single 17-cent ice scraper, return it, and repeat the process in an effort to slow sales and protest the store’s cooperation with ICE operations.

Yes! This below!!

Solidarity is the most powerful tool we have in the face of authoritarianism.
It's on all of us to stand with each other, stand up for each other, and refuse to accept the fear and division the White House is trying to exploit and use against us.
