If you can't do all of the actions, do as many as you can. If we all plan ahead and get the things we need in advance. we won't need to go to the store that day. I'm going to try for at least three days. Of course, if there is some kind of critical situation with a family member or pet that day, then it's understandable if you have to go get something.
If as many of us boycott as much as possible, it should have an effect on the greedy mfers and start off the new fascist administration with a flop, even if a small flop.
Thanks to the person who mentioned the progressiveshopper.com site for long term boycotting efforts.
