Some friend of mine & I are planning a shopping boycott tomarrow.

[cheshire]

Nov 26. No shopping. Just to let them know we can be a show of force.

[Sannum]

1. There is no way...

I am going shopping tommorow. It is a good way to protest. Most 'murikans won't do it. Jesus wants us to max out the credit cards ya know:eyes:

[cheshire]

3. I'm with you, this is an easy day.

[StClone]

2. Buy Nothing Day -- BNG

That is my intentions.

[MatrixEscape]

4. Good!

STARVE the BEAST!

Don't pay for the carnage, corpocracy, and military-industrial machine. Why be guilty by association and via financial support of it?

STARVE the BEAST! Declare a BLUE Solstice.

5. YES

I'm all about any form of non violent protest-and boycotts are my favorites-ant other suggestions.

6. I'm with you. nt

7. I have also heard that Target is forbidding Salvation Army to ring bells

in front of there store. I think that we must pick our fights because we can't do them all but some are boycotting them also. I was thinking about standing in front ringing a bell for some other charity. It is getting so ridiculous I don't recognize this world.

well, if you want to get kicked out, immediately state your views etc., we usually say that its a 'consumption awareness ritual' or we are looking to see if we want to buy anything. dont mention anything about 'protest' (at least in the US..). protesting is only allowed outside the store.

15. RE: Boycott Shopping on Black Thursday

Yes, I've heard about that online and we're not shopping tomorrow, either - it's a national attempt to show our $$ power. Hope it works, but will it matter!?!
