Today, there’s a call for a nationwide general strike and economic blackout.
I wholeheartedly support boycotting massive corporations and holding systems that profit from violence, exploitation, and oppression accountable. At the same time, I want to be transparent: as a small business navigating a difficult winter season with little to no sales, I cannot afford to close today. Like many other small businesses, rent, payroll, and operating costs don’t stop, no matter what the economy is doing.
That being said- F**k Jeff Bezos. F**k ICE. F**k all the massive corporations that exploit labor, communities, and human lives for profit.
I encourage intentional and conscious spending EVERY SINGLE DAY. Support your neighbors. Support small businesses. SPREAD LOVE. Be mindful of where your money goes and who it truly impacts. When you support small businesses, you’re supporting families, neighborhoods, and real people.
As Howard Zinn said:
“You can’t be neutral on a moving train.”
Zinn believed real change comes from people making conscious choices where they stand, even when those choices are complicated.
This is me choosing my side, while still surviving within the system we’re actively trying to dismantle.
Thank you, always, for your understanding and continued support. DON’T FORGET TO LOVE MORE EVERY SINGLE DAY!
POWER TO THE PEOPLE! ✊🏽
FREE PALESTINE! ✊🏽
