    The dates make it specific and actionable. Just saying boycott Amazon is obvious but doesn’t rally people like a time sensitive group effort. And it’s not really pushing purchases. Lots of people just buy everything through Amazon so this gets people to try alternatives and if a few of those stick as long term changes it’s a net win.

      Don’t disagree at all.

      But compare to the sugar boycotts that helped push Britain out of the Atlantic trade in enslaved people. Years.
