I suspect that it will also just shift purchases to the days before and after.
It’s a start, but I think it would be more effective if we went through some or all of March spending only the bare minimum on necessities, and only at small local businesses to the extent possible. The corporate world lives and dies by quarterly reports, so we’ll get the most bang for our boycott buck by targeting those numbers specifically.

IMO boycott specific retailers or products with specific demands.
Achieve your demand then move on to the next retailer or product.
Boycotts will only work of there are ready alternatives.
It’s been done before many times and never worked. I mean, anything is better than nothing, but real change needs real action.
