We Ain't Buying It: A Pledge for Economic Power and Consumer Action
This Thanksgiving season, it’s time to put our money where our values are. It’s time to recognize the power in every dollar we spend or don’t spend. That’s why we’re calling on everyone who believes in justice, equity, and real community investment to take the We Ain’t Buying It pledge.
For too long, our spending has funded companies and organizations that take us for granted, disrespect our dignity, and ignore the needs of our neighborhoods. We’re done with that. This movement is about more than just saying “no.” It’s about saying “yes” to businesses and organizations that respect us, invest in us, and stand with us.
By signing this pledge, you commit to:
- Mobilizing your consumer power: pulling your dollars from companies that don’t stand with us and redirecting them to businesses that do.
- Being intentional about where you spend and who you support, especially during the holiday season and beyond.
- Returning to your roots: Centering family, community, and shared prosperity this Thanksgiving, and ensuring your money works for the people who work for us.
I pledge to be a conscious consumer. I will support businesses that invest in our communities and withdraw my dollars from those that don’t. I will spend intentionally, stand in solidarity, and make sure my money reflects my values. We ain’t buying anything less.
We aren’t just consumers; we’re community builders. We’re driving the change we want to see, and demanding respect.
Sign the pledge. Join the movement. Let’s make every dollar count
