The A.M.E.Z. Church Board of Bishops Endorse Rev. Al Sharpton's Call To Action

Turn It Off: The 24-Hour Economic Blackout

Posted
Receive this CALL TO ACTION!
 
The A.M.E. Zion Church stands in solidarity with Rev. Al Sharpton’s leadership in the fight to protect DEI. Our power lies in our unity, and our first step is clear: TURN IT OFF!
On Friday, February 28, 2025, from 12:00 AM to 11:59 PM, we take action with a 24-hour Economic Blackout—the first of many steps to push back against attacks on diversity, equity, and inclusion.
 
DO NOT SPEND. No Amazon. No Walmart. No major retailers. No fast food. No gas. No unnecessary purchases.
 
IF YOU MUST SPEND, support small, local Black-owned businesses only.
 
WHY THIS MATTERS: Corporations and banks care about their bottom line. If we disrupt the economy, even for one day, we send a message they cannot ignore. If they don’t listen, the next blackout will be even longer.
 
Dr. King showed us the power of economic resistance. Now, it’s our turn. Spread the word. Share this message. Stand with us.
 
This is just the beginning. Are you in?
