Why Georgia businesses should be boycotted and subject to strikes and walkouts

Simply because it will send a message to other states.

These businesses and wealthy CEOs and Shareholders have funded the politicians that enact these bills.

They fund the politicians that enact racist Gerrymandering.

They fund politicians that block progress like increased wages and access to healthcare.

They fund Faux News and hundreds of Hate Radio stations all over this country.

We can't vote corporations and businesses out of power.

The ONLY thing we can do is speak in the ONLY terms they understand, MONEY!

Boycotts and Strikes are also effective.

During the Montgomery Bus Boycott of the 50s, it is estimated that this action cost the bus company $3,000 per day!

The message needs to be sent to all of these Retrumplican funding companies that racism and hate is NOT profitable
