Actions, Strikes, & Boycotts
Across the country, people are finding new ways to push back against corruption, corporate greed, and policies that harm our communities. Not everyone can march or take off work, but every one of us participates in the economy, and that means our choices matter.
This year, a wave of decentralized, grassroots boycotts and economic actions has taken off online. They’re not about partisanship – they’re about power. They’re about reminding billionaires, giant corporations, and political actors that everyday people still have a say in what kind of country we live in.
Below is an incomplete but growing list of national actions – boycotts, economic “blackouts,” and solidarity campaigns — that everyday people are organizing right now. Some are large, some are local, some are led by well-known groups, and others are completely decentralized
But all of them share the same message:
If the system won’t listen to us, we’ll use our dollars to make it listen. Boycott the billionaires.
Here’s what’s happening:
The Big Beautiful Boycott
