Boycott for Equality.....a GLBT/Straight ally boycott of the USA....
for one day. October 8.

This is a call for a nation-wide boycott in the traditions of Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King. We are asking all GLBT Americans and their Straight Allies to "drop out" of the United States economy for one day to demonstrate that we are vital and important members of our communities with significant economic presence. There are three elements to the boycott: No Work, No Purchases and No Cell Phones....

1) Do not go to work. Call in sick or use a personal day. You do not have to come out to anyone in doing so unless you choose to do so. This will impact overall economic productivity. If you own a business, consider closing for the day to honor the goal.



I like it! I guess that means staying off the net, too.

1. Except for DU. I can't detox before the election. Me without DU
would not be a pretty site. But, I will not shop or gab on a cell phone or work that day.
