newsweek.com

A movement called Shutdown 315 is urging Americans to stop shopping at major corporations, use social media, and go to work on March 15. The goal is to protest against perceived government failures and corporate practices. Participants are encouraged to support local businesses instead of large retailers like Walmart and Amazon. They are also asked to remove social media apps and avoid unnecessary spending and travel. This initiative follows other protests against corporate responses to government policies. Experts suggest that while the shutdown may impact major companies, it could also affect small businesses and the overall economy.
