CHAMPAIGN/URBANA NEWS GAZETTE
— Excitement has diminished, but dirty work continues – Jim Dey (DIERSEN: How soon, if not already, will Democrats officially call for a boycott against all businesses that are owned by those who are Trump supporters, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-poor, gun owners, Christian, draft avoiders (except Joe Biden), and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time?)
https://www.news-gazette.com/opinion/columns/jim-dey-excitement-has-diminished-but-dirty-work-continues/article_bf9cffe1-731c-5610-8026-fc98a107b155.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The first event held July 7 was in coordination with a national boycott against all businesses to demonstrate the economic power of Black people, and bring attention to institutional racism woven into government and business policies that are in need of reform. Black people were encouraged to forgo spending altogether, or to shop at Black-owned businesses if they needed to buy something. Maxwell compared the movement to the historic 1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott in which Black residents of Montgomery, Alabama refused to ride the buses for more than a year until they were allowed to sit wherever they wanted. With BlackOut Tuesday, the objective was to get the attention of politicians and businesses to address issues such as equity in policing and the wage gap between white workers and employees of color. “The purpose was to show how much we spend in the economy,” said Maxwell, a community organizer. “It’s kind of like when we boycotted on the buses, to show that we’re a part of that system and we spend money there and we deserve equal treatment.”)
