QuoteBoycott started by Howard University:

THIS WAS SENT TO ME. PLEASE READ THIS AND PASS IT ON! DO NOT "share" or "post" this on social media! THIS MUST BE DONE in silence!

PEOPLE THIS BOYCOTT IS NOT TO BE TAKEN LIGHTLY!!!!!

WE MUST COLLECTIVELY REFUSE to sit back and HOUT JUSTICE AND CHANGE!!!

Therefore, as of July 8, 2016, 11:59 p.m., PLEASE JOIN OTHERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY COLLECTIVELY AGREEING TO BOYCOTT one major retailer for 30 days at a time. The retailer ,TARGET, will be the FIRST COMPANY IMPACTED by our boycott. We are simply asking ANYONE WHO IS ACTIVELY INTERESTED in MAKING A SOCIAL, ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL STANCE AGAINST THE UNJUST SLAUGHTERING OF BLACK LIVES, to REFRAIN FROM SPENDING ANY MONEY AT TARGET. Please SAVE any money you would have spent at

Target in your banking account(s) until August 8, 2016, 11:59 p.m.We are also asking people not to purchase any Coca Cola products until August 9, 2016, 12:01 a.m.

And finally, organizing at least ONE MILLION BLACK PEOPLE to move $100 to BLACK OWNED BANKS or CREDIT UNIONS, such as, Citizens' Bank, One United, or ANY BLACK OWNED BANK IN YOUR AREA.

We are NOT POSTING this on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, OR ANY FORM OF SOCIAL MEDIA,  but instead, SHARING IT via text  messages or word of mouth. Hopefully, you will PASS THIS MESSAGE TO AT LEAST SEVEN PEOPLE, who will in turn, reach out to another SEVEN that will do the same!!!

I received this text message from a few people. Not sure if some of you have but Im just spreading the word in case anyone wanted to participate.

I honestly wish Black people as a whole would participate in this, but I don't see it happening unfortunately.

I wish too.
And I also would want other races to join.
The last thing I want from all of this chaos is more division.

I asked the same thing. Maybe it'll be a way to measure how effective it really is. If the media were to learn that Blacks were boycotting I could see them diminishing or misconstruing data if it were to have an impact, which probably would discourage Black people from taking action the next time. Idk tho
