There are too many economic calls to track this holiday season. We support the “We Ain’t Buying It’ movement which exempts small business, but we also encourage Buy Nothing Day, an economic protest older than the Patriot Act. The idea is simple: on Black Friday, buy nothing.

Whether you’re skipping all shopping this week, or boycotting Home Depot, Target and Amazon, take it up a notch with a digital cart jam. From the organizers: “When thousands of carts sit full but never convert into purchases, it hits their KPIs, signals that something is wrong and shows that their business practices are failing their customers.”
Join Black Voters Matter in shifting your spending from big corporate powers (especially Target, Amazon and Home Depot) to businesses that invest in our communities.
Sign a pledge card and put your money where your values are. This isn’t a boycott, it’s a conscious re-factoring of your economic power. Support your community.
