Our household will participate. I don’t have much faith that we’ll have a critical mass of people boycotting but I can’t bitch about it if I don’t do it.
A single day doesn’t send any messages that they will care about.
You’re right, but it’s a start to get more people involved and comfortable with taking action. One day is easy and manageable for anyone, but longer periods seem scary. Starting with just one day gives people a foot in the door to try more acts of resistance. When the next call comes for a longer period, it will be easier to get people on board because how much worse is seven days from one?
So, you’re right. One day won’t save us. One day won’t solve the problem. This is not the end, but a beginning, just a first step.
I think that’s very optimistic.
IMO it will be more difficult to enlist people in future because they will be disheartened by the complete lack of results from this effort.
These protests are pressure release valves coordinated by the oligarchy. People will participate then become disillusioned why their ‘protest’ didn’t create any change.
By comparison the Montgomery bus boycotts were 361 days.
