"Our Basic Framework for the Injustice Boycott"
Brothers & Sisters,
By the time you read this, over 75,000 people from all 50 states will have joined you. This is powerful because we have not even released the most basic details of what our boycott will entail. Yet, all of us know that we've simply had enough of injustice in America.
On December 5th, 2016 we will launch the
largest boycott in modern American history. This date was chosen because it is the same date that our ancestors began the 381 day long Montgomery Bus Boycott. It is going to take that same type of determination and organization for us to actually make this boycott count.
By now, you've signed petitions. This is not a petition. This is you making a pledge that you will boycott cities, states, businesses, and institutions which are either willfully indifferent to police brutality and racial injustice or are deliberately destructive. To be clear, to be willfully indifferent is to be deliberately destructive - so our boycott will treat indifference and outright contempt as one in the same. We want to give you a very basic framework for how we will be spending the next 10 weeks before our national boycott begins on 12-5-2016.
1. We will not be releasing the names of the cities, states, and businesses that we will be boycotting until December 5th, 2016. During this time, we hope that cities and states around the country will begin to enact emergency legislation and policies to prevent police brutality and racial violence. Furthermore, we do not want any potential targets to somehow undermine our efforts.
2. We can tell you this. Our boycott will be national. That means we will be boycotting: -Entire cities -Entire states -Particular brands and corporations -Particular institutions IN ALL 50 STATES AND DC.
3. We will spend the next 9 weeks carefully crafting each and every target and we will provide detailed justification for each and every target when we launch on 12-5-2016. When we launch, we will methodically roll out each and every target in a strategic and creative manner.
4. We will spend the next 9 weeks carefully building a coalition of partner organizations, leaders, and businesses who will be co-sponsors of the boycott.
5. We will be providing meaningful, substantive alternatives and exceptions for each target of the boycott to help support those who stand against injustice.
6. The purpose of this boycott is visible, measurable, tangible change. When cities and states enact serious, credible reforms, we will end our boycott of our targets there. Otherwise, the boycott will continue indefinitely - like the Montgomery Bus Boycott.
7. We will launch the next public phase of our strategic plan on November 2nd. ---- Together, we are strong. We can do this. We've done it before. We can do it again. Shaun King Senior Justice Writer New York Daily News
