One boycott is an “economic blackout” proposed for Feb. 28. On that day, consumers have been encouraged to refrain from spending any money in stores or online. A group called The People’s Union is one of the groups behind the Feb. 28 blackout campaign, which has spread over social media.

In response to Donald Trump's economic plans and the rollback of diversity, equity and inclusion priorities, some activists want a 24-hour boycott.

The People’s Union USA calls the 24 hours of spending abstinence set to start at midnight an “economic blackout,” a term that has since been shared and debated on social media. The activist movement said it also plans to promote weeklong consumer boycotts of particular companies, including Walmart and Amazon.
