I'm really not clear what is being protested with this action: all commerce? Capitalism? Big corporations? Corporations that bent the knee to MAGA? Are we trying to show that consumers are more central to the economy than [who?] thinks they are? Are we standing against money? High prices? Is this a dry run before an actual boycott?

I mean, all this may sound secondary but it's not. If there is some action being taken, it would be nice to have some statement associated with it. "Lets not shop on 2/28", which is practically the only thing I have heard about the action, is not enough
