In response to the rollback of federal DEI initiatives, League of Women Voters of the US is joining the 24-hour ECONOMIC BLACKOUT on Feb. 28. We encourage members to avoid buying anything that day unless it's from a small, local business. Especially avoid large companies that are rolling back or eliminating their DEI programs, including Target, Walmart, McDonald's and Amazon.
We’re making our power known. On February 28, 2025, we’re not spending a dime unless it’s at a small business.
❌ NO gas
❌ NO fast food
❌ NO big box stores (Target, Walmart, Amazon, etc.)
