ASK THE SUB How's your boycott journey going?

Hi everyone,

Its been over a year of atrocities and still on going. For some of us our boycott journey started years ago and for other its much more recent. Either way the journey continues.

I was curious about how the experience has been for everyone and what are areas of improvements, so I made two surveys that I would greatly appreciate if you could fill.

The first is a general survey for all:
Survey 1: General survey

The second is in addition to the first:
Survey 2: for those who use/have used disoccupied

Note/disclaimer: I am one of the volunteers that's been working with disoccupied since early on, however this is my personal initiative.

I have a boycott question. I often shop at a discount grocery store. This store doesn't select products they just buy and sell whatever products the grocery store couldn't sell. I still avoid the target brands of the BDS campaign when I shop there but sometimes they don't have another option available for purchase. Is it permissible to purchase those products from discount stores since it's not funding those companies? Or does that still provide an incentive for them?

There’s still an incentive but just do the best you can and try to offset purchases with direct action. For a long term fight, choose your battles. It will get easier as more companies divest. ❤️🖤🤍💚
