If the world isn’t comfortable taking action by now
The sad fact of the matter is most Americans aren’t. So, we have to meet them where they are and start small and low-threat to get them comfortable.
Personally, I find a one day blackout super easy. I don’t buy a lot as is, and when I do, I go out of my way to not engage with big companies. I know companies don’t feel my actions, and I know they wouldn’t feel my actions if there were 100 of me doing this. So, we need to use this as an opportunity to get people on board as “baby’s first social action.” Get people comfortable with doing something so that bigger, more impactful actions can be taken down the line.
After the 28th, we need to then organize the next one and make it longer, say 3 days and ask that people get their friends to do it, too. It will take successive action with the awareness that this is all connected.
I really just want to find a group with more action. Bit of vandalism here and there, or more… too bad any amount of that is considered wrong, while they bleed us dry and leave us to literally die homeless in the street.
