To the Editor:
Our democratic norms are being eroded day after day, and we cannot stay silent. Corporations, banks, and financial markets rely on consumer spending. If we disrupt the economy for just one day, we send a clear message. The “24-hour Economic Blackout” is a protest action to show our power.
On Friday, February 28, from 12 a.m. to 11:59 p.m., let’s not make any purchases. Let’s not shop online, or in-store. No Amazon, No Walmart, No Best Buy, Nowhere! Let’s not use credit or debit cards.   Let’s  only buy essentials if absolutely necessary. If we must spend, let’s only support small, local businesses.
Please participate and spread this message.
