For one day we show them who really holds the power

Thursday February 27th from Midnight till Friday The 28th Midnight
(A full 24 hours of the 28th)

Major Retailers
Do not use Credit or Debit Cards for non essential spending
WHAT YOU CAN DO:
- Only buy essentials of absolutely necessary
- (Food, Medicine, Emergency Supplies)
- If you must spend, ONLY support small, local businesses.
- SPREAD THE MESSAGE
- Talk about it, post about it, and document your actions that day!
WHY THIS MATTERS!
- ~ Corporations and banks only care about their bottom line.
- ~ If we disrupt the economy for just ONE day, it sends a powerful message.
- ~ If they don’t listen (they wont) we make the next blackout longer (We will)
This is our first action.
This is how we make history.
