Boycotts are effective, but you gotta be stubborn. It’s gotta be “boycott from now on” with no end date. Otherwise, it’ll just look like normal fluctuations in their business. “Oh, this week was slightly down…ah, but then it stopped. We’re good!” But if you boycott forever, then their numbers continuously go down. And if you get other people boycotting, those numbers go down faster. THAT’S how you make an impact.
