Blackout for Human Rights on the day of action: “The U.S. economy depends on our shopping, especially during the holiday season. But the lives of our brothers and sisters are worth more than the dollars we can save on holiday gifts.”

Will you flex your economic muscle for the greater good?

#BlackOutBlackFriday will be supported by movie screenings and panel discussions in three cities.

People are using hashtags such as #NotOneDime and #RedistributeThePain to indict Black Friday consumerism in the wake of ongoing systemic violence against African-Americans.
