Poster saying "Economic boycott - don't buy stuff on Friday, Feb 28. We have power. No: Amazon, Walmart, Target, Fast Food, Gas. Ok: Small business. Use cash"
2. ECONOMIC BLACKOUT. We support the economic boycott occurring this Friday, Feb. 28, of any entity that has dismantled their DEI programs and pandered to this administration. The buck will stop with us!

A federal court just blocked Elon Musk from interfering with the federal government’s payments system.
There is power in fighting back. We won’t let up until this block is permanent.
🎉Come join me for a reading of my board book CAKE DAY at Beacon Hill Books & Cafe on March 4 @4:00pm 🎂We’ll learn how to make a cake and then decorate our own pretend cake!
