An organization is calling for a national boycott in the form of an “economic blackout” on Friday, urging Americans not to shop for 24 hours.
The boycott coincides with protests against President Donald Trump’s plans to reduce the government workforce and mass firings at federal agencies.
“For generations our families worked, sacrificed, and fought to build a better future, yet here we stand, still waiting,” the group posted in a video on Instagram. “We the people will not wait any longer. We stand in solidarity to honor the past and carve a new path for the future.”
