This makes way more sense than a one day black out. Pick a company to make an example out of and then just add to a list once your collective has built a habit of not using said company's services.

A step has to be taken first and individual decisions get made along the way. Mufukkas so critical about people doing anything while themselves refusing to do anything or contribute anything.......a spark leads to a flame and anybody without the standard brain power to reason as such just needs to silently stand by and watch as others do the thing and make progress for them

I said this in the thread and it mentions it in the article, people have been boycotting Target since they stepped back from DEI. I think they are seeing impact and this will increase the pressure.

Amid calls for a boycott and being overrunon its social media channels with criticism for backtracking on its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts, Target saw foot traffic decline for the fourth consecutive week, according to new data from Placer.ai.

For the week that began February 17, foot traffic at Target’s stores fell 7.9% YoY, more than double the 3.9% it fell the previous week.

Traffic was also down at Walmart, which also has faced criticism for rolling back its DEI program, falling 5.2% YoY for the week beginning February 17, also marking the fourth consecutive week its traffic fell, and more than triple the 1.4% it fell the previous week.

At Costco, meanwhile, which resisted calls from shareholders and 19 Republican attorneys general to cancel its DEI programs, traffic has been up for all four weeks in the same period. Foot traffic rose 4.8% YoY for the week beginning February 17, slightly higher than the 4.6% it rose the week before.

Correlation—let’s say it all together—is not causation, and Placer.ai had no comment about whether the DEI rollbacks had an impact on the data.

In a statement, R.J. Hottovy, head of analytical research at Placer.ai, said that “foot traffic across much of the retail sector has declined in February, likely due to factors such as post-holiday spending pullbacks, decreased consumer confidence, and other macroeconomic conditions.”—AAN

just as I predicted, a one day boycott accomplishes nothing.

last week I was telling folks about real boycotts. when the montgomery bus boycott went down in the 60's, that shyt lasted over a year. no one is taking a 1 day boycott serious.

hell, I even went to some stores that day last week. and it was phenomenal being able to get groceries and stuff without a bunch of nikkas packing up the joint.
