Blackout Friday

US ECONOMIC BLACKOUT. No Corporate Spending. Friday, 2/28. No Corporate Spending. Plan Ahead. Shop Small. No Gas. No Stores. No Restaurants. Stop Fascism. Stop Project 2025. Stop Racism.

Poster showing head of Statue of Liberty with words US Economic Blackout 2025, Friday, Feb. 28, 2025

Square yellow poster showing angry cartoon girl in a blue dress with words STRIKE! FEB 28. No gas. No fast food. No Big box stores.

A poster for the economic blackout on February 28. It is a big red Jack rabbit on an aqua blue back ground. It says economic blackout in hand done black type. There are two black speech bubbles. One says “don’t buy stuff Friday February 28th. The other says we have power. Below it says No Amazon, Walmart, target, gas food, gas. Below that it says OK small business, use cash. Designed by Martha Rich.

2025 Economic Blackout Schedule: Total blackout Feb. 28, Amazon Blackout March 7-14, Nestlé Blackout (all Nestlé products) March 21-28, Walmart (&.com) Blackout April 7-14. Total Blackout April 18. Spread the word. Prepare. Spend $0.
