This Group Is Calling For A Economic Blackout On Friday

A grassroots group called The People’s Union USA is asking Americans not to make purchases at major retailers on Friday. The “economic blackout” idea has gained support from celebrities Stephen King, John Leguizamo, and Mark Ruffalo. The initiative is a protest of corporate greed. “We have to accept these insane prices, the corporate greed, the billionaire tax breaks, all while we struggle just to get by,” New York dad John Schwarz said in a video posted to Instagram.
