How about targeted short term boycotts?
How about targeted short term boycotts?
Do you think it would be possible (and how could we get it done?) to unite millions of people who collectively agree to target an individual company for a short time unless the company meets our demands? For example, for the month of March we all pledge to not purchase anything from Apple unless Apple does XYZ... Either they do it, or we tank their stock... Move on to the next company target
Worked for Bud Light.
Did it?
It looked like a one day wonder. The parent company is still around and Bud Light is still everywhere I look.
Sales of Bud Light and Budweiser dropped 24.6% and 9.2%, respectively, for the four weeks ended June 3 from a year earlier, while Modelo Especial sales rose 10.2%, according to consulting company Bump Williams, which sources data from NielsenIQ.
How do you mean?
When people organized against Bud, the stock price took a hit, they are no longer the #1 beer brand in the US having been supplanted by Modelo.
Look up Right Wing bigot and homphobe Jerry Falwell.
Back in the day he decided that he wanted to take over the Republican Party. He had a simple plan. He found every local GOP clubhouse and made sure to show up every time there was a vote. Deciding who was going to be the next county clerk? If there'd been twenty people at the last meeting the Falwell people would arrive with fifty. In 1976 Nelson Rockefeller of NY was a popular choice to be Ford's VP. By 1980 he was a dirty Liberal.
I like this way of thinking. 🤔
