"Long term advocacy" what does that even mean?
"Consumer education" of what? Company "X" is bad so don't buy from them? People already do that.
"Supporting legislation" why? What? We don't control Congress and Congress is already irrelevant. They already gave up. They are asking his permission to have money for stuff when they are the people that actually supposed to control the money.
"Sustained, targeted, boycotts" is literally worthless. I haven't shopped at Walmart for over 10 years. They didn't even notice.
See how easy that is? When in reality all of your ideas are great long term ideas that people are literally doing but we need actions that can be taken today, no matter how small, to make our voices and feelings heard. We have to focus on both and both are important.
