· We are a resource to inform and publicize boycotts by Black Americans · We provide easy access to information as a centralized point of reference for Black American boycotts · We provide contact information for the organizers of the boycott effort 
· We are a resource library for the history and use of boycotting as a strategy for social change · We provide updated information regarding status of boycotts and their outcomes · We publish statistics regarding offensive incidents that have been reported at this site 
Information is Power! and by providing statistical information regarding offensive encounters that are common to Black Americans, a broader picture can emerge that brings clarity to our need for collective, collaborative, and organized efforts to enhance relationships between Black people, Black organizations, and the broader society. The enhancement of these relationships will allow for the formulation of strategies aimed at improving the socio/economic position of Black America through better use of our collective wealth.
Additionally, Black Americans continue to experience a great deal of discrimination from businesses
and organizations throughout the U.S. and an effective boycott as an instrument of protest can be a powerful force for change. Boycotting is like “voting with your dollars”. The University of Georgia's Selig Center for Economic Growth recently released “The Multicultural Economy 2004,” in which black buying power was estimated to be around $723 billion -- twice as much as 2001. Projections show that the buying power of African Americans is likely to increase by over 170% to $965 billion by the year 2009. This is more than the entire Gross Domestic Product of many countries such as Taiwan, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, and Poland just to name a few. By becoming more selective of who and how Black dollars are spent,
Black Americans can change the dynamics of the relationship and the attitudes that many
organizations and business owners of other groups have towards Black people.
Furthermore, as Black people become more aware and conscious of their spending habits, that money can then be re-directed towards the establishment and support of Black Businesses, which are the cornerstone for economic development and employment within the Black Community. |
