Do Boycotts Really Work? I'd Like to Find Out!


You know, it is hard not to feel helpless about the state of the world. Increasingly, we are all becoming diconected and shut in, experienceing the world through our computers and televisions. But, if you're reading this or following us on Twitter, you are different. You are aware of problems and wish you could fix things, at least move things in the right direction.
Here is a project we are mulling over. We'd like to compile a list of companies that deserve to be boycotted. It could be because they have shipped all their jobs over seas, it could be that they treat employees like sod, and it could be that they damage the environment and hurt communities.

So, if you have a company that should be boycotted, send us some information, even just the name. We'll do the research and compile a list of companies. After that, we'll hit the web with videos, twitter feeds and any other technique we can come up with, to spread the word.

I do feel that in our age of at-your fingertips networking, boycotts have a better chance than ever of being effective!
