As a musician my hot take about the boycott is that it really isn’t about making a monetary dent (it won’t) it’s about organizing people and getting them to act TO PRACTICE action and believe so when it is time to do the hard stuff we can and will. Lets go! #economicboycott

Can someone answer? We need people to NOT resign correct? Like, no not doing that, force me out. I keep seeing resignations and that is precisely what the other side wants.
