For one day we show them who really holds the power WHEN: Thursday, February 27th, from midnight until Friday, the 28th midnight (a full 24 hours of the 28th). WHAT NOT TO DO: Do NOT make any purchases! Do NOT shop online, or in-store,! No Amazon, No Walmart, No Best Buy, Nowhere! Do NOT spend money on: fast food, gas, major retailers! Do NOT use credit or debit cards for non-essential spending! WHAT YOU CAN DO: Only buy absolutely necessary essentials: food, medicine, emergency items. If you must spend, ONLY support small, local businesses. SPREAD THE MESSAGE:Talk about it. Post about it. Document your actions that day! WHY THIS MATTERS!
