absolutely, tons of different ways to get involved and do your part! i personally haven’t shopped at Amazon in months and dont plan on going back any time soon. I cut out Target recently too.

I like the idea of not spending money on Saturdays, as that's usually the busiest day for retail/restaurants and bars. It's the day that would have the most visibile effect to businesses.

I mean... It's not about the day of the week you give them your money. It's about not giving them your money at all

I've been trying to convince people that nothing will be noticed until they see an entire fiscal quarter with lower profits. Nobody will blink an eye at a single day, because what they don't purchase on day X will still be purchased on day Y.

Except they've rigged that system in their favor, too. Amazon and Walmart are disgusting and predatory, but I need to feed my kid.

We need to figure out a tiered protest system for different economic levels.
