The post Grassroots Groups Call For Black Friday To Cyber Monday Retail Boycotts appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline Grassroots pressure against corporate policies and the Trump administration is mounting as the “We Ain’t Buying It” campaign calls on consumers to boycott Target, Home Depot and Amazon from Black Friday, November 28, through Cyber Monday, December 1, while the “Mass Blackout” urges a nationwide economic shutdown over the holiday weekend. “When corporations align with cruelty and authoritarianism, they must understand that our purchasing power matters,” said LaTosha Brown, cofounder of Black Voters Matter and a member of the “We Ain’t Buying It” coalition.
