Peppermint Instagram – TODAY, February 28th, we’re having an economic blackout! We ask that you do not buy ANYTHING. ❌❌❌ This action is designed to raise awareness and harness our collective power in the fight to end sexism, racism, homophobia, and, now more than ever, Transphobia. 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
AFTER the blackout, let’s strategically use our funds to support small businesses. It is essential to shop small, especially at Black and queer-owned businesses! ✊🏿🖤 By intentionally shopping at these businesses, you uplift our community and contribute to long-term change.
With DEI rollbacks disproportionately impacting Black communities, especially Black trans people, standing in solidarity is more important than ever. Supporting Black-owned businesses helps fight these injustices while celebrating Black excellence. Check out these businesses and make your purchases count after the 28th! 📆
