SO MUCH commerce surrounds a day at school. You disrupt that along with everything else.
If Mom doesn’t have to go to work, she doesn’t have to stop for that Starbucks on the way in and fill the gas tank. She doesn’t have to pay to park or feed the meter. If she’s not taking the kid to school, she doesn’t have to drop them off early at early day care and doesn’t have to give them lunch money to spend. If you’re not at work, you wouldn’t eat that shitty Subway at lunch and wouldn’t have to go to that gathering at TGI Fridays after work. Little things that add up. Point is to show them that there is a light switch. You turn it off for a day to tell them you could turn it off longer if needed .
Alright, let’s do it then?
Blackout Friday
Every Friday until he’s gone and damage is reversed
We don’t transact at all each Friday.
We directly call the businesses we would have shopped at that day to tell them the dollar amount we’d be spending with them if democracy wasn’t under attack.
And/or email their corporate with the same message.
Maybe they can dismiss a total boycott that as a hollow, reactionary promise that will pass, but saying “I will shop with you much less” feels much more real and they can see it being enough to reverse their endless growth line. They care about one thing.
