Blackout The System has called for a nationwide boycott, urging participants to refrain from working or spending money from Nov. 25 to Dec. 2 as a protest against a damaged government and economic system. In recent days, Blackout The System—a movement advocating unity across race, culture, and class—has been actively promoting the upcoming Second Wave economic blackout. Scheduled around the Thanksgiving holiday and extending through Black Friday and Cyber Monday, the initiative aims to become the most significant economic blackout protest in U.S. history, demonstrating that real power belongs to the people—not corrupt governments, billionaires, or broken systems.

The justices have reasoned that streets and sidewalks areimportant places where people encounter ideas and viewpoints that they are not actively seeking out. For this reason, these public places play an important role in expressing and hearing new ideas in a democracy.”

11:45a UPDATE: We will cancel this protest (9/13/25) to be cautious.

With new suspect information, and increasingly inflammatory comments online AND in-person, and a lack of safety discussion with police contacts, we are concerned about everyone’s safety.

Our next protest is 9/27, 9am, Conroe.

We want to make our position clear:
We condemn political violence.
We condemn gun violence.
We promote non-violent expressions of free speech.

For now we will continue as planned, and we are monitoring the situation. We are embracing a theme of “Peace, Unity, and Ending Violence”.
Light gray text on a black background: we condemn political violence. We reject the idea that our opponents are enemies. We commit to seeing everyone as human beings and neighbors, even when we disagree. We reaffirm our commitment to democracy and peaceful discourse. We promote life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We believe in justice for all.
