I was sent this by a friend who saw it trending around various social media which I don’t use.

Personally, I think it would do good to lengthen the economic blackouts to 3-7 days. But, any coordination helps, and I think the weeklong corporate boycotts will at least send a message.

I’m looking for other places to share this. I checked BuildTheResistance, but I couldn’t figure out a way to submit dates for a protest without a link to a site. I have a link for the February 28th blackout, and I would be grateful to anyone that could help me in sourcing these other protests.

EDIT: found the sources! They’re all by The People’s Union USA. It’s just that all the boycotts besides the 28th are tucked away in their FAQs page.

I should say, as well: I think general boycotts are a good idea, and I support the idea of protesting on these dates. However, I don’t necessarily trust The People’s Union USA. They have a login feature. Don’t be so foolish as to make an account on a fucking resistance website.

      Ahh, followed by dismissing any efforts people are already making because you don’t deem them good enough. Really helping the cause.

      Got a question, what exactly are you doing?

          Equating people doing what they can to LARPing, just keep insulting the people that you want to join you and rise up. Seems real effective.

          Also, meaningful results have been achieved through nonviolent means throughout history, I just did a deep dive of this exact topic of you’d like more information.

          Yeah, cool speech and all, but what are you yourself doing while asking so much from people? Don’t ask of others what you are not willing to do yourself.

              So not engaging with any of the points I raised and not willing to answer the question, for a second time. You seem really reluctant to answer and we both know why tough guy lol.

              Sounds like another keyboard warrior that just wants everyone else to fight their battles for them. Do better.

                    It’s a stupid question for obvious reasons

                    Go on over to an Antifa instance and ask 'em what their plans are

                    They’ll definitely tell you everything

                    What a dumbass

                    A hypocritical dumbass at that. I’m trying to motivate people to do more than just symbolic gestures, people need to take action in the face of a fascist criminal regime whose goal is to overthrow the government and instead you’re wasting your time berating someone who actual does take action?

                    And you want me to broadcast what those plans are?
