This has long been my guide. If I don’t see myself represented at an establishment, I don’t spend there.
I’m doing research for a project and found out about the “don’t buy where you can’t work” movement during the depression, where Black people boycotted and picketed places that wouldn’t hire us. Shout out to everyone who’s not going back to Target!
"Don't Buy Where You Can't Work" | National Museum of African American History & Culture.
<p>“Don’t Buy Where You Can’t Work” campaigns of the 1930s used effective direct-action tactics, such as boycotts and picketing. </p>

Teach your children how to swim. Life saving and fun
Teaching a child to swim reduces drowning risk by up to 88%. The CDC's drowning prevention program reached 22,000 children in 2024 at $110 per child before being eliminated by the Trump administration.

CDC’s ability to prevent injuries like drowning, traumatic brain injury and falls is severely compromised by Trump cuts
Preventable injuries and deaths kill more Americans in the first half of life than any other cause, including cancer. Yet the programs aimed at addressing them have been gutted by CDC layoffs.
