Great suggestion for

#citizenfriday
Instead of buying things you think you need but don't actually need but will buy anyway because they're on sale, how about making a donation to your local food bank instead? They desperately need it.

It's #CitizenFriday - will you share, repair and get out in the fresh air?

Citizen Friday was started by the Re-Action Collective as an anti-Black Friday campaign

Today is a great day to join to help us all avoid being manipulated into buying things we don't need or want!

Everyone is welcome
