The Economic Blackout on February 28 is a reminder that we have agency. A large number of people not making purchases for 24 hours sends a message: Our attention, time, and money have value.
Let's do this!
See the People's Union Call to Action (below and at: https://thepeoplesunionusa.com/)

WHAT YOU CAN DO:

SPREAD THE MESSAGE
Talk about it, post about it, and document your actions that day!
WHY THIS MATTERS!
~ Corporations and banks only care about their bottom line.
~ If we disrupt the economy for just ONE day, it sends a powerful message.
~ If they don't listen (they won't) we make the next blackout longer (We will)
This is our first action.
This is how we make history.
