The People's Union USA is spearheading a 24-hour 'economic blackout' encouraging U.S. residents to refrain from spending as a protest against the influence of billionaires and corporations on everyday lives. The initiative aims to raise awareness about corporate actions impacting diversity and inclusion efforts, alongside broader political issues. Additionally, various activists and faith leaders are mobilizing boycotts against companies like Walmart, Amazon, and Target during significant periods, including Lent. With experts weighing in, the effectiveness of consumer abstinence as a tool for change remains under scrutiny.
The People's Union USA calls the 24 hours of spending abstinence set to start at midnight an 'economic blackout', reflecting a push against corporate and political influence on Americans' lives.
The organization aims to encourage a collective consumer action against billionaires and corporations, promoting solidarity among working Americans through a voluntary spending halt.
