February 28th is a "Don't Shop" day. I do plan to participate as it is gaining traction, but this isn't enough.

*We need to shop at GOOD places, and stop shopping at the bad!*

Black people have done this many times in history, "don't shop where they won't hire you!". It lasts upwards of a year, historically. The NAACP has called for similar measures again, and I urge everyone to take part. This is a commitment not for a day, but for a month, a year, however long it takes.

Together, everyone who benefited from DEIA *is a majority*. Let's plan now, so starting March 1st, after no spend day, we no longer shop at or use places that have canceled DEIA!

DON'T SHOP:
McDonalds
Walmart
Amazon
Target
Ford
Toyota
Nissan
John Deer
Harley Davidson
Lowes
Jack Daniels
Molson Coors (not to be confused with Coors, which is black owned!)
Boeing
Meta (facebook, instagram, threads)

PLACES DEFENDING DEI!
Subaru
Costco
Publix
Burger King
Popeyes
Tim Hortons
Delta
Ben & Jerry's
Apple

Feel free to add more in comments, and I will edit this list to update it.
