IF WE DO NOT UNITE NOW THINGS WILL ONLY BECOME WORSE
BLACK AMERICANS MAKE UP 14% OF POPULATION, BUT ACCOUNT FOR 50% OF CONSUMER SPENDING, AT $1.2 TRILLION ANNUALLY.
WORDS ARE NO LONGER ENOUGH. IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO JUST PUT OUT A PUBLIC STATEMENT. WE & OUR ALLIES SUPPORT COMPANIES BY SPENDING OUR HARD EARNED MONEY WITH THEM. IT'S TIME THEY SUPPORT US BY NO LONGER FUNDING POOR POLICY, POLITICIANS, AND LAWS THAT SYSTEMATICALLY OPPRESS MINORITY COMMUNITIES. CORPORATIONS SHOULD ALSO BE MOTIVATED TO TAKE AN ACTIVE STANCE AGAINST POLICE BRUTALITY AND CONTRIBUTE TO CAUSES AND INITIATIVES THAT EMPOWER AND SUPPORT MARGANILIZED COMMUNITIES.
BOYCOTTING IS A PEACEFUL AND EFFECTIVE WAY TO ENSURE OUR VOICES ARE HEARD., CHANGE IS CREATED, AND POLICE BRUTALITY WILL END.
WE AND OUR ALLIES WILL BOYCOTT
WHY BOYCOTT
BOYCOTTS ARE PEACEFUL PATH TO CHANGE
BOYCOTTS ARE HISTORICALLY EFFECTIVE
PEOPLE CAN PUT THEIR MONEY WHERE THEIR VALUES ARE
ALL SOCI-ECONOMICAL GROUPS CAN PARTICIPATE
IT'S A SAFE WAY TO BRING ATTENTION TO YOUR CAUSE & UNIFY THE COMMUNITY
A STRATEGIC BOYCOTT IS POWERFUL. IT ALLOWS US TO SEND A CLEAR MESSAGE TO THE WORLD & PUT HUGE AMOUNTS OF PRESSURE ON COMPANIES 1 BY 1. OTHERS WILL WANT TO JOIN IN SO WE DON'T PULL OUR DOLLARS FROM THEM NEXT.
PARTICIPANTS CAN CONSISTENTLY APPLY PRESSURE TO CORPORATIONS AND LOBBYIST TO CREATE FAVORABLE OUTCOME
BOYCOTT BENEFITS
WE WILL BOYCOTT COMPANIES AND PRODUCTS 1 BY 1 THAT DO NOT PUBLICLY SPEAK & ACT AGAINST POLICE BRUTALITY, KILLING OF BLACK MEN & WOMEN, OR ANY OTHER INJUSTICE OF MARGINALIZED GROUPS. IT IS JUST AS DANGEROUS TO BE SILENT AS IT IS TO ACTIVELY SUPPORT DANGEROUS AND OPPRESSIVE PRACTICES, LAWS, AND LAWMAKERS.
OUR DOLLARS MATTER, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY OUR LIVES MATTER. WE HAVE THE POWER TO EFFECT CHANGE THROUGH WITHHOLDING OUR SPENDING AND SLOWLY CHANGING OUR HABITS.
THIS IS A LONG - TERM STRATEGY THAT WILL LEAD TO THE CHANGE WE ALL DESPERATELY WANT TO SEE.
BOYCOTT STARTS STARTS IMMEDIATELY

OUR GOALS ARE TO CREATE AN AMERICAN SOCIETY WHERE WE ARE ALL SEEN AS AMERICANS. WE WILL START THIS BY ENDING POLICE BRUTALITY. HERE IS WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE:
- WHEN PEOPLE MAKE FALSE POLICE CRIMES IT WILL BE A FELONY & PUNISHABLE WITH JAIL TIME
- ANNUAL MENTAL EVALUATIONS FOR POLICE OFFICERS
- POLICE OFFICERS BEING FIRED, CHARGED, & CONVICTED WHEN THERE IS CLEAR EVIDENCE OF THEIR DISTURBING ABUSE AND MURDERS
- ANNUAL DIVERSITY TRAINING & COMMUNITY HUMINZATION COURSES FOR POLICE OFFICERS
- EXTERNAL INVESTIGATION COMMITTEES TO COUNTER THE COUNTLESS TIMES WE HAVE SEEN THE POLICE LIE, CREATE FALSE REPORTS, DOCUMENTS, HIDE EVIDENCE, OR PLANT EVIDENCE
- FUNDING FOR LEGAL REPRESENTATION THAT IS NOT OVERWORKED & HAS THE ABILITY TO LEARN THE CLIENTS CASE AND PROVIDE A SOLID DEFENSE
WE WANT TO ASSIST IN CLOSING THE ECONOMIC GAP AND CREATING A FAIR OPPORTUNITY FOR MINORITIES TO BUILD OWNERSHIP, BY HAVING ACCESS TO CAPITAL & MENTORSHIP. WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE:
- DEDICATED FUNDING AND DONATIONS FOR MINORITY BUSINESS OWNERS IMPACTED BY COVID-19 & RIOTS
- DEDICATED FUNDING AND DONATIONS TO ASSIST MINORITIES THAT ARE IMPACTED BY THE HOUSING CRISIS
- DIVERSITY LENDING COMMITTEES AT EVERY BANK THAT ARE COMPRISED OF A MINIMUM OF 75% MINORITY MEMBERS. THIS WILL HELP TO END THE SYSTEMIZED PREJUDICE AND RACISM THAT IS USED AGAINST BLACK BUSINESS OWNERS & OTHER MINORITIES.
- DIVERSITY MORTGAGE LENDING COMMITTEES AT EVERY BANK THAT ARE COMPRISED OF A MINIMUM OF 75% MINORITY MEMBERS THAT WILL HELP END THE SYSTEMIZED PREJUDICE AND RACISM THAT IS USED AGAINST QUALIFIED BLACK MEN, BLACK WOMEN, & MINORITIES THAT WISH TO OWN LAND AND HOMES
- FEDERAL MONEY THAT IS USED TO PROVIDE FINANCIALLY LITERACY, STEM, ROBOTICS, TECHNOLOGY, TEST PREP, MATHEMATICS, LANGUAGE, NUTRITION, COMMUNITY GARDENS, HISTORY, & LIFE SKILLS PROGRAMS FOR ADULTS AND CHILDREN
