About this event



Featured Community Event Economic Blackout

In response to the federal rollback of federal diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, the League of Women Voters of the US is joining the 24-hour Economic Blackout on February 28, 2025.

We encourage members to avoid buying anything that day unless it's from a small, local business.

The organizers request to especially avoid large companies that are rolling back or eliminating their DEI programs, including Target, Walmart, McDonald's and Amazon, and ask that on February 28, 2025, spend nothing (no gas, no fast food, no big box stores) unless it’s at a small business.
