Yes, I have a haircut scheduled for Friday. And will go to lunch after. Both at small local establishments that have like values. I will take cash out to the bank earlier in the week though so I pay with cash.
Need an alternative to shopping today? Tune in to some fabulous podcasts. Top of my list is the Friday Power Lunch (12-1pm ET).
Today's guests:
--Antjuan Seawright, Democratic political strategist and founder of Blueprint Strategy LLC and a senior visiting fellow at Third Way. Follow him on X, aka Twitter @antjuamsea.
--Michael Pope, a long-time reporter on Virginia Politics hosts his new podcast, Virginia Press Room,
--Poet Dorri Scott, who will move us from Black History to Women’s History Month.
Not shopping and prepared. I canceled my Amazon subscription in May 2025….. Meanwhile I’ll watch all the FREE Prime movies until end of April like “Idiocracy”all day and night. lol 😂
I started researching companies who contributed to the Felon's campaign and those who contributed to the Harris campaign the day after the election. I spent DAYS on my project so I could boycott companies and make my purchases from others. I offered my lists for FREE to anyone who wanted them. Very few takers. So I have been boycotting since day 1 and continue to add to my list: no Amazon (that hurts!), Facebook, Twitter. Even had my stockbroker remove Home Depot from my investment portfolio. For me, boycotting isn't about making some big difference. It's about ME and my conscience! I have ONE vote and my money. I will use both as I choose.
If you'll send an email to janfordemocracy@gmail.com , I'll be happy to send you the lists!! The info was gathered primarily from Open Secrets which I would advise everyone to visit for any companies you want to look up! My lists do not include the last quarter of the year.

Dropping Amazon and Target helped me take the effort to look around for alternatives. So many local stores provide most of what I need - I just had to have a reason to try!
If you must make a purchase on Friday, shop local! Support our local businesses who support our communities.

Hi Amelia, here's the direct link to the video. https://youtu.be/mm9de-f4M5I?si=RtCD7Je-A3jwQYBT.
The link is also in the article itself.

Amazon Boycott March 7 to 14. Don’t feed the fascists.
So, did you participate in the Boycott today Friday February 28, 2025? Tell us about it.
It's 3pm and I'm in full boycott. As a friend put it to me this morning....no shopping today so let's spend more time talking!
Way to go!
This is great, but not one young person I know has even heard about it….
Oh yes we are doing this.
Dropping Amazon and Target helped me take the effort to look around for alternatives. So many local stores provide most of what I need - I just had to have a reason to try!
Maybe it'll be the same for you.
I apologize, misunderstood the boycotts purpose.
We also need to have 30 day to permanent boycotts of companies such as Tesela.
Is there a way to share the video on social?
Here is the direct link to the video https://youtu.be/mm9de-f4M5I?si=gZWxQvPDALSooMgk
Thank you, Robbin. We really appreciate it. We are sending it out to our Commit to Democracy volunteers.
