US: We Ain’t Buying It: Holiday Weekend Blackout (Nov 27–Dec 1)
From IBW 21
For eleven months, our communities have faced relentless attacks — mass firings of federal workers, corporate pressure to dismantle DEI, and ICE raids targeting our neighbors. Now, as the government shutdown leaves 42 million people hungry, corporations like Target, Home Depot, Amazon continue to profit from policies that harm working families, immigrants, and communities of color.
This holiday season — when 20% of annual retail sales happen — we’re using our collective power to speak the only language corporations understand: our wallets.
We Ain’t Buying It is a nationwide weekend of economic noncooperation (Nov 27–Dec 1). Together, we’ll:
Call out the corporations that are doing our communities harm.
Withhold our spending from major corporate retailers;
Redirect our dollars locally and in our communities; and
Show the power of our ability to act together.
| This holiday season, let’s remind corporate America: our silence isn’t for sale, and our values aren’t up for purchase. Join us in declaring — We Ain’t Buying It. Onwards, The Institute of the Black World 21st Century |
