It’s a lie. Marketing exists to manufacture a perceived need, a need to spend your money. That core purpose—pushing you to transfer your dollars to others—will never stop and one of the biggest hammers in the toolbox is URGENCY!

Hey #Seattle! Join me in giving a huge middle finger to Bezos, our hometown oligarch. Spend ZERO dollars this weekend at Amazon (including Whole Foods!!!), Target or Home Despot.
For gifts, I like Northwest Art & Frame in the Alaska Junction (West Seattle, y’all). What are your fave local shops?

196 million people shop over Thanksgiving weekend.
If even just a fraction of us refuse to bankroll companies enabling harm, the message will be impossible to ignore. Other companies will think twice before they cave.
Skip Target, Amazon, and Home Depot.
Protect your community.
