Have You Ever Formally Protested or Boycotted Anything?

[Minnesota!]

Yes! We need a network called Good News Network. They could call it GNN.

By the way, here is one of my favorite threads here on the Dis:

Thanks for the link! That's hilarious! As always, it looks like I'm a day late and a dollar short!

Yes, I am boycotting a few places and will remain that way until the matter changes.

MSNBC. And any television/movie/music award shows where blowhard celebrities spew ill-informed political garbage in an inappropriate venue instead of focusing on the only reason for having the awards show.

There are some stores I avoid, but I don't do any protesting. Both my DDs were out Saturday though at the protests, one in DC and one in LA!

I personally have not, but I don't have any reservations about doing so if I was passionate about something. I also 100% support people's right to march, protest or boycott (all peacefully of course).

 

[Anesthesia Fine]

Yep. I've marched (the most recent one I attended was an amazing experience), I've boycotted (sometimes that's more slacktivism than anything, though; I mean, it's no hardship to avoid XYZ business when they're a pain in the neck to access anyway), and I am very careful about where I donate my money and time. I don't let "perfect" be the enemy of "good", because every little bit counts. But being thoughtful costs nothing.

I have had the honor of marching in two 100,000 person marches. Both were an amazing experience to be with so many like-minded people. I have also boycotted stores and/or companies.

My daughters were there also, in San Francisco and Knoxville, Tn.

We don't have White Castle here, but we have Krystal which s pretty similar. It does NOT agree with me either. I do believe you need to have a certain blood alcohol level to even tolerate Krystal (much less actually WANT it), and I'm not a drinker so that's out for me.

When you gotta have a Krystal, you GOTTA have a Krystal. I miss Krystal. There aren't any where I live now.

Marched/protested against aparteid in the 80s.
Did one of the big pro choice rallies in DC years ago.
Marched with my mom on the picket lines 40 years ago.

Wanted to march saturday and had the gear and posters ready - but I had my flooring replaced and I had to stay at home!

 

[jodybird511]

Proudly marched in St. Louis on Saturday, with my two kids in tow.

 

[DennyCrane]

Yes.

 

[DisAuntie]

So do people who boycott all news just not care about what is going on in the country and the world? How do you stay informed if you have no clue what is going on?

Keep in mind those same people vote.

 

[soccerdad72]

Formally? No, not really.

 

[AnnaFloridaLover]

If you aren't a white male, there's a good bet that many people have marched for your rights not so long ago.

 

[sam_gordon]

don't do any social media whatsoever.

The Dis is "social media".

I think it was called PCU. I thought it was funny but then again I was at a very liberal hippy university when it came out.

Yes. The plot didn't focus on the protesters, they were just one of the side stories. The plot was a HS Senior visiting the college and the insanity that ensues. I also found it amusing.

 

[Kellykins1218]

Nope, I think protests and boycotts are stupid and don't accomplish anything.

I was there too! I was the long-haired guy by himself in the red polo shirt, lol.
