A leftist group is trying to persuade American consumers to stage an “economic blackout” on February 28, 2025 to protest companies that have rolled back their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies.
The organization, called “The People’s Union USA,” is spearheading the initiative. It describes itself as “a movement of people, unionizing to take back control of our economy, government and future of our country,” according to its website.
The 24-hour economic blackout is the organization’s first campaign. They are asking followers to refrain from making any purchases on February 28. The group urges Americans not to make any purchases “online, or in-store.” They seek to persuade people not to use their “Credit or Debit Cards for non essential spending.”
February 28th would be a good day to go shopping, dine out, and otherwise feed your local economy...
