THE 24-HOUR ECONOMIC BLACKOUT
“This is a late notice I learned about early this morning and am just now relaying to others. It’s a NO PURCHASE day to let big business know how dependent they are on the rest of us. I will not go out to eat with a friend for her birthday week; I will cook whatever I have available in the freezer and refrigerator. What could you do to help speak up to make a statement?

“The 24 hour Economic Blackout"
As our initial act, we turn it off. For one day we show them who really holds the power.
WHEN: Friday February 28th from 12:00 A.M. to 11:59 P.M.
WHAT NOT TO DO:
Do not make any purchases
Do not shop online, or in-store
No Amazon, No Walmart, No Best Buy
Nowhere!
Do not spend money on Food & Gas
Do not use Credit or Debit Cards
Do not hire anyone to do work around your house, etc.
WHAT YOU CAN DO:
Only buy essentials if absolutely necessary
(Food, Medicine, Emergency Supplies)
If you must spend, ONLY support small, local businesses.
SPREAD THE MESSAGE
Talk about it, post about it, and document your actions that day!
WHY THIS MATTERS?
DT and his minions only care about their pocketbooks
Corporations, banks only care about their bottom line
Financial markets rely on consumers to spend
If we disrupt the economy for just ONE DAY, it sends a powerful message.
If they don't listen (they won’t) we make the next blackout longer (We will)
This is our first action.
February 28th”
