A full week where labor, dollars, and participation are pulled from the system all at once.
Organizers behind “Blackout the System” outline a week-long nationwide pullback from work, shopping, and participation, beginning November 25 through December 2. The effort targets Black Friday and shifts economic attention toward Black-owned and small local businesses. With 82 supporting organizations and over 14 million people reached in two weeks, the movement is tracking state-by-state participation and long-term engagement. The plan transitions into “Divest December,” extending the redirection of consumer power beyond the initial blackout week.
