People’s Union USA Calls For National Boycott In A ‘Feb 28 Economic Blackout’

A nationwide economic blackout is planned for February 28, where Americans will stop making purchases to protest against wealth inequality, according to the People's Union USA.
The boycott will target major retailers like Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy in response to their actions regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion policies.
John Schwarz, founder of the People's Union, emphasized that the blackout aims to create long-term strategic action against corrupt politicians and corporations.
Experts suggest that while the blackout is symbolic, it may not significantly impact the retailers' bottom line, as stated by Michael Ryan, a finance expert.
