  • I can only assume you are all bots meant to discourage people from protesting, and others would be wise to report and call out these accounts.

    What does protesting even do?

    1. That’s five million Americans standing in solidarity.

    2. That’s five million Americans connecting, organizing, and sharing resources.

    3. That’s five million Americans not shopping or working that day.

    4. That’s five million Americans being inspired to run for office and support others who are.

    5. These protests are only going to get bigger and bigger as the word spreads.

    Join them, or STFU about how nobody is doing anything.









  • I used to buy a ton of Amazon stuff. Mostly art supplies, pet supplies, clothes, novelties I didn’t need.

    One day, I was browsing Reddit and I was like-- “what is this boycott thing all about?” and then I started by not ordering for one whole day!

    Then one whole week!

    Then one whole month!

    Anyway, I ended up cancelling my Prime subscription, deleting my Amazon account completely, and cancelling my Prime Store credit card.

    Then at work, for Valentine’s Day, we each received a $200 dollar Amazon gift card as an employee appreciation gift.

    I spoke up and said that I would prefer to receive cash or nothing at all because my values did not align with Amazon-- which caused many of my coworkers to decline theirs as well.

    It was so perplexing to leadership, that they decided that going forward they are just going to give us a $200 cash bonus on our paychecks

    So anyways, that’s the impact one of these “pointless” boycott posts had on me.
