🚫 8-Day Economic Blackout — Nov 25 → Dec 2

A growing nationwide coalition is calling for an economic blackout from Tuesday, Nov 25 through Tuesday, Dec 2. The core asks: no shopping, no streaming, no scrolling, no ad engagement, no online purchases. If you absolutely must buy something, favor local small businesses and pay cash when possible.

• Skip the apps (uninstall or log out for the week).
• Pause streaming (music & video) — turn off autoplay and background refresh.
• Constructive swaps: read a book, make art, deep-clean a room, hike, check in on a friend, or volunteer.
