so you decided to disregard the boycott, or even buycott

now you have a choice, do you:
1. spew nonsense gibberish out of guilt and shame in a weird attempt to justify your behavior, but end up only digging yourself deeper

or

2. not post a thing on the subject ever and save everyone the trouble

What to do other than have Universal Healthcare Envy to join the celebrations? READ ALT. ACTIONS you can pop into your DO lists for day, week, &month. universal healthcare with no fees at the point of need requires sustained, multi-action aimed at politicians, Congress, donor & corporate interests
What can we Americans do other than have Universal Healthcare Envy? How can we join the celebrations other countries enjoy every December 12th on Universal Healthcare Days? Here are some ACTIONS you can incorporate into your action lists for the day, week, and month to help us soon join in these celebrations: Achieving universal healthcare with no fees at the point of need requires sustained, multi-level action aimed at influencing politicians, Congress, and the powerful donor and corporate interests that shape policy. Here is a practical list of actions Americans can take to move the U.S. toward this goal: 🏛️ Actions Targeting Congress and Elected Officials Your elected officials respond most directly to their constituents and to political pressure. The key is to be persistent, specific, and visible. 1. Direct Engagement and Communication • Call and Email Your Representatives: Focus on specific legislation (e.g., a "Medicare for All" bill) and ask for a clear yes or no position. Personal stories about medical debt or inaccessible care are highly effective. • Attend Town Halls and Local Events: Show up and ask pointed, public questions about their stance on universal coverage and their corporate campaign donations from the healthcare industry. • Write Op-Eds and Letters to the Editor (LTEs): Published pieces in local media amplify your message and demonstrate public support, which politicians closely monitor. 2. Grassroots Organizing and Demonstrations • Join or Form Advocacy Groups: Connect with national and local organizations dedicated to universal healthcare. Power is in numbers and organized action. • Organize Local Rallies and Visibility Events: Hold demonstrations, vigils, or local marches to make the issue impossible to ignore. A visible presence in their home district pressures politicians more than DC-based lobbying. • Canvass and Phone Bank: Directly reach out to voters in your district to educate them on the benefits of a single-payer system and enco… 🏛️ Actions Targeting Congress and Elected Officials Your elected officials respond most directly to their constituents and to political pressure.

Electoral Pressure • Support Pro-Universal Healthcare Candidates: Volunteer or donate to candidates at all levels (local, state, and federal) who have committed to enacting universal healthcare with no cost-sharing. • Hold Anti-Universal Healthcare Officials Accountable: Work to defeat incumbents who vote against or actively block progress toward universal healthcare. Elections are the ultimate accountability mechanism. 💵 Actions Targeting Donors and Corporations The healthcare and insurance industries spend vast sums to influence policy.

Disrupting their influence requires economic pressure and public exposure. 1. Consumer and Investor Action • Boycott or "Buycott": Research and support local or national businesses that publicly advocate for universal healthcare or offer excellent, low-cost employee health benefits, while publicly pressuring those that actively lobby against it. • Shareholder Activism (If applicable): If you own stocks or have retirement funds, identify holdings in major healthcare, insurance, or pharmaceutical companies. Submit shareholder proposals demanding transparency on lobbying expenditures or asking them to assess the financial benefits to their business of a healthier, universally-covered populace. 2. Public and Media Exposure • Track and Publicize Donations: Use publicly available data to track campaign donations from pharmaceutical, insurance, and hospital groups to your elected officials, then widely publicize these figures on social media and in letters to the editor. • Highlight the Corporate Cost of Healthcare: Frame the issue as an economic one for businesses. Universal healthcare reduces the administrative burden and costs that employers currently bear, making U.S. companies more competitive globally. 💡 Actions to Build a Broad-Based Movement Policy change requires a shift in public and political consensus. These actions help build a stronger, more informed movement. 1. Education and Narrative Control • Share Personal Healthcare Stories: The most powerful tool is personal testimony. Share your experiences with medical debt, delayed care, or financial hardship due to the current system with friends, family, and local media. • Educate Others on Global Systems: Be ready to explain how universal healthcare systems in other wealthy nations operate—highlighting lower per-capita costs, better outcomes, and the no point-of-service fees aspect. • Correct Mi… Actions Targeting Congress and Elected Officials Your elected officials respond most directly to their constituents and to political pressure.

This is the truth about this year’s consumer spending. Don't let them make you think the #boycotts aren't working, because clearly they are! #boycott #buycott

"Order volumes fell 1% as average selling prices rose 7%. Consumers also purchased fewer items at checkout, with units per transaction falling 2% on a year-over-year basis"

Funny most articles don't mention the drop in sales volume.

We explore how Chinese feminists use consumer power, declaring "Every penny you spend is a vote for the ideal society you want."

We studied two major cases:
1️⃣ A boycott of P&G for sidelining a feminist comedian.
2️⃣ A buycott of the brand Hanshu for dropping a male star in a #MeToo scandal.

about that person: there are still too many people who are not prepared about boycott/buycott, they’re lazy and/or bad slacktivists. they certainly don't help our lives, our profession and those who believe in music.

My usual routine when I get home is to flip on the TV, catch David Muir’s evening news while I cook, and roll right into Jeopardy!. Well, that’s over, no more ABC. I can find my news elsewhere, and I’ll survive without the trivia.

5 things you can do:
1. Call your representatives. Use 5 Calls.
2. Attend town halls. Speak up.
3. Join resistance groups. Organize.
4. Boycott companies that cave to the regime. Buycott those that stand strong.
5. Protect the vulnerable in your community. Resist ICE activity. Record and post.

Your generation is unlike any before it.

You’re digital natives. You see through spin. You boycott brands that support regressive policies and buycott those that stand with reproductive rights, climate action, and racial justice.
