Yes, who is more likely to regard the sacrifice of people as abhorrent than those who follow a religion centered on celebrating the sacrifice of a person?

Your Black Friday reminder that in 75% of U.S. industries, a smaller number of companies now control more of the business than they did twenty years ago. We must stop the monopolization of America. Shop small if you can, please.

What do these corporations have in common?

Netflix
Ford
Tesla
T-Mobile
Duke Energy
DISH Network
Metlife
Dominion Energy
United States Steel

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

No Buy Black Friday:
Take Back Our Power

No more enriching corporations who pour millions into lobbying, campaign donations, and political action committees to shape laws in their favor—weakening labor protections, dodging taxes, and blocking environmental reforms.

This Black Friday, let’s choose No Buy.

Withholding our dollars is a form of protest. It’s how we reclaim our power. ✊🏿

Amazon, Apple, Google, Microsoft, Meta, and Comcast—all donors to powerful political figures—profit from our consumption while deepening inequality and crushing small businesses.

“Ultimately, we have just one moral duty: to reclaim large areas of peace in ourselves, more and more peace, and to reflect it towards others. And the more peace there is in us, the more peace there will be in our troubled world.”

This Black Friday…
Support local businesses, makers, and cooperatives—or simply buy nothing. Use this day to reflect, rest, and resist the pressure to consume. Every dollar we withhold from these corporations is a vote for a fairer economy and a livable future.

NO BUY
this BLACK FRIDAY
November 28, 2025

No more feeding the corporate machine that pays executives millions while workers struggle to pay rent.

No more rewarding companies that fund political power to protect their wealth at our expense.

Instead, let’s opt out! 💸
