Economic Blackout Protests Major Corporations February 28
On February 28, a nationwide economic blackout is being organized by The People’s Union USA, encouraging consumers to halt all spending for 24 hours. This grassroots movement aims to protest corporate greed and the rollback of diversity, equity, and inclusion policies by major retailers, while showcasing the collective power of consumers. John Schwartz, a mindfulness facilitator, initiated the call for the boycott, emphasizing that it is not politically motivated but rather a response to perceived exploitation by corporations and politicians. Supporters, including notable figures like former Labor Secretary Robert Reich, argue that the economic blackout is a necessary step to challenge corporate monopolies and systemic inequality. The movement plans to continue with additional boycotts targeting specific companies in the coming months. Despite skepticism regarding its impact on large corporations, the blackout has gained significant traction online, fueled by widespread public discontent with the current economic landscape.
