The People’s Union USA has organized an economic blackout urging shoppers to avoid spending money at major retailers for 24 hours. This grassroots movement aims to give power back to the people in response to the rolling back of diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives by corporations like Walmart and Target. Activists are also advocating for fair wages and labor practices. The movement encourages support for small local businesses, with some offering discounts to customers. While some, like shopper Brian Hernandez, had no choice but to shop, others like Sephene Bryant support the cause, citing high taxes and cost of living with low pay scales. The impact on big corporations remains to be seen, but supporters believe that by taking a stand, consumers can make a difference in holding these corporations accountable. As the economic blackout unfolds, the message of empowering individuals and supporting local businesses remains at the forefront.
