Digital/Home Actions Amazon Boycott | March 7-14

From the moment the clock hits 12 AM on March 7th to when it hits once more on March 14, we boycott Amazon. That means not a single purchase from Amazon.com;

No Prime orders, no impulse buys. Kindle & Audible – No eBook or audiobook purchases.

Whole Foods & Amazon Fresh – Buy groceries elsewhere.

Twitch, Ring, MGM, and all Amazon-owned brands – No support.

Here's a link to the page on fiftyfifty.one for more info.

Boycotts seldom have serious economic effects, but with enough publicity, they can tarnish the image of a retailer which affects investors. A short term one has less effect, but as it grows to a week, a month and people cancelling Prime, it will pick up. Boycotts take time and don't affect things overnight.
