Rosa Parks, 1956 — the Montgomery Bus Boycott, when economic withdrawal became Black political power

ECONOMIC POWER

BOYCOTT & ECONOMIC PRESSURE

Where we spend, watch, and invest is a form of power. When institutions profit from our communities and stay silent while our rights are stripped, we move our dollars, together and on the record.

Corporate pain creates political action.

★ HOW ECONOMIC PRESSURE WORKS

01

NAME THE LEVERAGE

Find where an institution depends on our communities, our labor, our dollars, our attention, and make that dependence visible.

02

MOVE TOGETHER

Coordinate the withdrawal. One person walking away is a choice. A million walking away is a force the balance sheet cannot ignore.

03

CONVERT TO CHANGE

Turn the pressure into a public statement, a policy shift, restored commitments, and a record that outlasts the moment.

BRING YOUR ORGANIZATION.

Coalitions move corporations. Add your organization to the campaign and amplify the work.

501(C)(3)
