I wont be buying ANYTHING this week unless I forgot something very important for Thursday's meal. In the event I forgot something? I will be buying it from a small mom and pop type of local store. As far as Friday goes? Nope!! No black Friday shopping for us! I dont buy a lot from big stores as it is but, its more than I would like. The not so much turns into nada for the week. I usually spend around 200-300 on house hold crap and a few non perishable grocery items. (All meat and produce bought locally or regionally.) It's not much but, if we all spend $800 less at Walmart every month, maybe they will take notice. But this week, especially Black Friday will teach them the hard way.. They are rich because of us. We can make them less rich too!"
Consumers have significant influence, and our choices shape the future while holding corporations accountable. Boycotting companies that prioritize profit over people is not merely about withholding purchases, but it is a statement of solidarity and conscious action. By redirecting spending from major retailers such as Target, Amazon, and Home Depot to local, Black-owned, immigrant-owned, and POC-owned businesses, we affirm that our communities matter.
