ICYMI: Friday is National Blackout Day
In case you didn’t know, or if you needed a reminder, Friday, February 28 is National Blackout Day. It’s an economic blackout. It’s a boycott. On this day, you are not to spend a single penny in an American store. If you must purchase something that is absolutely necessary, like food or medicine, buy it in cash from a local small business — preferably Black owned. You are to avoid chain stores and corporations like Walmart, McDonald’s, Target, and Amazon like your life depends on it, and in a way, it does. In fact, those aforementioned companies and others that donated to Trump, or rolled back their DEI programs to appease his administration, are to be boycotted from here on out. Here’s a list of those companies — it’s a loooong one —
