    We need PERMANENT boycotts. DON’T GO BACK!! Abandoned them and leave them to rot.

    Follow what I see every Canadian is doing in the grocery store. Look up the brand and if it’s American put it back and add to the permanent no buy list.

      Buy Nothing Day has existed since the 1990s — I believe that Kalle Lassen popularized it in his ADBUSTERS monthly.

      Coverage in AP and NPR is amazing progress.

    I don’t get this plan.

    Even if people don’t shop one day, they will buy postponed items next day.

    You are organizing the wrong thing, you need to build a platform and a troll farm.

      As someone said in a different thread, it’s a first step in gauging support for a broader effort. It gives a sense of how effective getting the message out is, and how many people join on.
