On Friday, February 28, a 24-hour economic blackout is planned to highlight the importance of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in our workplaces, communities, and economy.

DEI isn’t just a buzzword—it’s about creating opportunities, ensuring fairness, and fostering a society where everyone has a seat at the table. When businesses and institutions move away from these principles, it’s up to us to remind them that inclusion benefits everyone.

For just one day, the ask is simple:
🚫 No unnecessary spending (online or in-store)
🚫 No purchases from major retailers
🚫 No gas, fast food, or credit/debit card transactions

Instead, if you must spend, support small, local businesses—the backbone of our communities.

Why does this matter? Money talks. A one-day pause sends a clear message that consumers value inclusivity and fairness in the marketplace. It’s not about division—it’s about strengthening our collective future.

Will you join in? Let’s make February 28-TODAY- a day that speaks volumes. Share, discuss, and stand for a future where opportunity isn’t optional—it’s for everyone.
