- Amazon Boycott 2 – May 6-12

- Target Boycott - June 3 to 9
- McDonald's Boycott - June 24 to 30
- Independence Day Boycott – July 4
"It's simple: stop spending," The People's Action USA says on its website. "On blackout days, avoid shopping, streaming, online orders, fast food, and everything in between. If you absolutely need something, buy it from a small, local business.
"This is about discipline and awareness. The less we give them, the more power we take back."
In the same vein as Walmart, companies like Target and McDonald's have also reversed their DEI policies. A 40-day boycott of Target began the first week of March and remains ongoing. Reverend Jamal Bryant, a Georgia pastor, spurred the boycott.
