I got to ask. What is the deal with timed protests like no buying amazom for a week? Is the USA that addicted? That’s like saying I’m going to stop smoking for a week as a form of protest against Tobacco companies. It can have an effect but at the same time doesn’t sound very threatening. All the power to them regardless and I support them! But still a bit toothless
I like the spacing of it.
Even 5% of the USA taking March 14th off, will shock the nation. Every additional 1% will rock it further to its core. Time to stand up and stand together.
I’m with you.
First I’ve heard of the March 7-14 Amazon Boycott.
IMO the other three events are very unlikely to be effective in any way.
The boycott is at least achievable, and depending on the numbers you can enlist it may have a detectable impact on Amazon.
It doesn’t matter whether the other events are “effective”. People will meet each other and start/practice organizing.
Very few single protest events will immediately fix things, that would be an impossible bar to consider a protest successful
It’s a marathon. Large scale protests do force policy changes, even in dictatorships
If 5% of working people ‘sick-out’ on March 14, the impact would be very noticeable.
