Take Part in the 24 hour Economic Blackout

February 28 @ 12:00 am – 12:00 pm

This is it—the first real test, the first demonstration of power, the first time we send a shockwave at Trump. He is obliterating diversity, equity and inclusion policies, and we’re not going to stand for it.

On Friday, February 28th, we go dark for 24 hours. No spending. No unnecessary purchases. No engagement with major corporations.

The truth is simple: Trump is not the king — because we the people run this country. And the moment we choose to stop playing by his rules, the moment we cut off their supply, the moment we remind MAGA that they need us, not the other way around, that’s the moment we begin to take control back.

Consumers are being asked to refrain from spending any money on February 28, especially those retailers who have demonstrated they do not value their multicultural and diverse consumers.

Here is the DEI boycott plan to share with all of your contacts.

As our first initial act, we “TURN IT OFF.” For one day, we show them who really holds the power.

WHEN: Friday, February 28th, from 12:00 AM to 11:59 PM. Set a reminder on your calendar.

SPONSOR: The People’s Union USA

WHY THIS MATTERS

Every major shift in history started with one moment. One act of defiance. One refusal to comply with a broken system. This is that moment. We are done waiting for politicians to fix what is broken.

We are done watching billionaires hoard wealth while the working class struggles.

We are done believing we are powerless.
