Where: Nationwide Economic Blackout Day
Description: One of the powerful actions we can take is to participate in boycotting. This tactic of nonviolent resistance exerts economic pressure to demonstrate widespread public disapproval. Historically, we have witnessed boycotts that led to significant advancements in the civil rights movement in the United States and in the movement to end apartheid in South Africa (to name just a couple).
28 February Consumer Economic Blackout (Thursday, 27 February at Midnight until Friday, 28 February at Midnight) The day of economic resistance is to use PEOPLE POWER and build a movement.
