Nationwide Economic Blackout Planned for February 28 Targets Corporate Practices

The People's Union USA calls for a 24-hour boycott of major retailers to protest corporate greed and rollbacks of diversity initiatives.

The People's Union USA, a grassroots organization, has organized a one-day economic boycott on February 28, urging Americans to refrain from spending money at major corporations like Amazon, Walmart, and McDonald's.
Participants are encouraged to buy only essential items such as food or medicine, and to support small, local businesses if purchases are necessary.
The movement aims to highlight issues such as corporate greed, rising living costs, and the rollback of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives under the Trump administration.
The blackout is part of a broader series of planned actions, including week-long boycotts targeting specific companies like Amazon, Nestlé, and Walmart in the coming months.
Experts suggest the one-day action is unlikely to cause significant financial disruption but could raise awareness and foster solidarity among frustrated consumers.
