I’m a day late on this. Sorry.
This Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday – let’s make our dollars count. We’re asking Americans to hit pause on shopping from major corporations.
JOIN US ON NOV. 27TH – DEC. 1ST, 2025
Target
Target has rolled back their DEI initiatives, which included ending programs that help Black employees advance, cutting financial support for Black-Owned businesses, and removing LGBTQ+ products from their stores.
Amazon
Amazon holds a monopolistic position in the market, contributes to dangerous working conditions for its employees and drivers, and CEO Jeff Bezos has donated over $1 million to this administration.
Home Depot
Home Depot is allowing ICE agents to illegally detain and kidnap laborers from their stores. The laborers in our communities are not able to look for work safely.
How to Participate
- Full Black Out: Don’t buy anything from Target, Amazon or Home Depot stores during this week. Use the time and money to connect with those you love, and rediscover what matters.
- Redirect Spending: Skip the companies undermining democracy. Shop small, local, or with businesses affirming our humanity.
- Join the Movement: Pledge to be a conscious consumer.
- Amplify: Spread the word. Share the message in conversation and online.
- Use and SHARE Our Toolkit: Get the word out about this economic action so we can hit the billionaire’s pockets where it hurts! Share now!

I appreciate the point behind Cyber Monday, but for us, there is VERY little to choose from in the way of the larger general merchandise stores. Fred Meyer, Walmart (which we never patronize), Bi-Mart … that’s about it. We lost Penney’s several years ago, as well as K-Mart, and we don’t have a Target. We do have a Home Depot.
As a result, Amazon is pretty much our go-to. However, having said that, we will honor Cyber Monday and delay any purchases to later in the week. ☺️

Those are good insights. We’re very much in the same situation, Nan. We can head to the mall in Medford but the options are limited. Offerings and prices are homogenized; it’s the same stuff regardless of the store. Locally, we have Bi-Mart and thrift stores. Yes, there is a Home Depot not far away…sigh. It’s a shopping desert. Thanks for the support. Cheers
