The economic boycott declared by Blackout The System, from Nov. 25 to Dec. 2, is still ongoing. The call to action is for people to use their financial power against large corporations that thrive off systemic inequalities and instead apply hard-earned dollars toward purposeful spending practices over the Thanksgiving Black Friday shopping season. The call is to not spend at all during the Blackout, but makes allowances for spending toward Black-owned businesses, in the name of economic empowerment.
