Angry about the fact that a cop can kill a black kid and get away with it?
Here’s something productive to do: Withhold your dollars tomorrow on #BlackFriday and Monday’s #CyberMonday. As you know, these this is the weekend that retailers make their money for the year, i.e., they get into the black. According to Nielsen, black spending power is expected to reach $1.3 TRILLION by 2017. That’s power.
You can make the decision to use or withhold that power. It won’t bring Michael Brown back, but it’s a good start to making our voices heard in a country that doesn’t quite value justice for all.
At least find black-owned businesses to support. You can find more information here. Or check out this link.
Honestly, you all pretty much have all the shit you need. At the end of the day, the only thing that’s understood are actions that impact the bottom line.
Thanks to my friends and compatriots Mike Street and Denitria Lewis for spreading the word on this effort to direct our economic power towards changing the justice system
Lastly, those of you in NYC tomorrow can join a rally at Herald Square (right outside of Macy’s) at 1PM. There are probably other rallies happening around the country. H/T to @MillionHoodies for the heads up.
