The Feb 28 Economic Blackout is a nationwide boycott organized primarily through social media, urging Americans to refrain from making purchases for 24 hours. This movement arises from discontent regarding rising costs of essentials like gas and food, exacerbated by inflation and corporate greed. Spearheaded by The People's Union USA, the aim is to advocate for economic justice and hold corporations accountable for excessive profits amid nationwide financial struggles. Participants feel their actions will send a clear message to corporations that are perceived as exploiting consumers during tough economic times.
The protests reflect social media sentiment against corporate greed, where major companies profit while many Americans struggle with soaring living costs.
'Send a message to giant companies ripping us off,' a Bluesky user urged, advocating for a powerful statement against corporate greed.
