Have you seen this in the media? A boycott of all major stores on this coming Friday. The People's Union USA is a grassroots organization that says it has no political affiliation but just wants "fairness, economic justice and real systemic change." It was founded by a man, John Schwarz, from Queens, New York. I have added an article about it below. What are your thoughts? The picture is from my collection https://www.cbsnews.com/news/economic-blackout-feb-24-hour-february-28-2025-peoples-union/

Truly something that should be supported so customers don't get exploited, i hope it all goes well.

For fairness, economic justice and systematic change to save customers from exploitation must be supported.

The real loons out there will eat that up, but it's not realistic for most people.

I disagree. I am waiting to get my groceries and others can do the same. It is a statement that needs to be made.
