Questions answered at the link:

WHAT IF I CAN'T MISS WORK?

Here are some other ways you can support the strike that don’t involve a write-up and a conduct meeting with [your boss].

If you can't miss work, you can still participate. Stock up on some groceries, and just don't shop. For one week.

WHAT IS THE MISSION?

Women and those who are vulnerable to unwanted or high-risk pregnancies will not be participating in or supporting a system that has proven time and time again that it does not regard us as human.

The mission is simple: Break the economy over the course of one week by abstaining from work, shopping, entertaining

WHAT ARE THE GOALS?

https://www.mothersdaystrike.com/about
• Ending the filibuster
• Enacting The Women's Health Protection Act (WHPA)
• Federally codifying Roe v Wade into law.
• Term limits for Supreme Court Justices
• Limiting the number of Supreme Court Justices a single administration can appoint.

ONE WEEK.

For one week, do what you can. Whatever you can.

Don't go out, don't shop, don't participate. And IF YOU CAN stay home from work.

Our country does not consider women to be actual people. Let's do something about that.

1. Stocking up ahead of time sort of defeats the purpose of the boycott.

Stock up on some groceries, and just don't shop. For one week.

2. No it doesn't. People have to eat.

6. I am a small businessperson

I make and sell jewelry. I have an event coming up this Saturday - my first since 2019. I'm hoping that people shop!

7. So you have said. Lucky for you it begins Sunday.

8. Hope it works. I'm all in but

I won't be much help. I'm a retired woman who rarely goes out much less shopping.

9. I hope so too.

10. Fingers crossed that some real messages can be seen.

13. Oh, no problemo! Maybe some of my younger friends will participate (who buy more )

I buy a fair amount of art, craft supplies but not much right now.
