I support this and I will participate, also I’ll agree that this better than doing nothing but I have to say that the commenter “echo” has a point. A one day protest like this will solve nothing and it’s as performative as John Lennon lying in bed for a week in the name of peace. It’s great that people care and want to do something but lasting change comes from committed and sustained action.
My plan is to start on the 28th and continue to buy as little as possible for as long as possible. If I do need to buy something, I will try to find a local establishment and use cash. Buying nothing for as long as possible will allow others to ask question and give the movement opportunity to grow.
